Abstract
The transverse jets were introduced into the wide side and narrow side of the rectangular exit, based on the circular to rectangular nozzle. The simulations were performed using LES to reveal the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of coherent vortex structures induced by transverse jet-hot jet interactions and their influence on mixing and cooling performance. Under a mass flow rate of 2%, we investigated the effect of transverse jets injection from wide side and narrow side on the high-temperature zone and analyzed the influence mechanism of transverse jet configurations on the entrainment effect of streamwise vortexes. The transverse jets effectively decreased the area of the high-temperature zone along the flow direction. Upon transverse flow injection, the shear effect induced by the velocity difference between the transverse and hot jets generated a counter-rotating vortex pair, which interacted with vortex rings, accelerating their dissipation into hairpin and spiral vortices. As the momentum ratio increased, the penetration depth of the transverse jet also augmented. At a constant momentum ratio, the penetration depth of transverse jets introduced from the wide side was greater than that of transverse jets introduced from the narrow side. It was found that When transverse jets were bilaterally injected at the wide side of the rectangular nozzle, the length of high temperature zone was effectively reduced by 53.6%.
