The study examines the dynamic evolution of vortex interactions and their positive effects on the entrainment of inclined elliptical jets (with inclination angles of 30° in both the major and minor planes) compared to non-inclined elliptical jets. Experiments were conducted at an aspect ratio (AR) of 2 and a Reynolds number of approximately 3000. Time-resolved tomographic particle image velocimetry (Tomo-PIV) and three-dimensional Lagrangian particle tracking (3D LPT) measurements were employed to capture the flow dynamics in detail. The Eulerian velocity field datasets obtained from Tomo-PIV are enhanced using high-precision tracks from 3D LPT measurements, improving the accuracy of velocity field reconstruction. Statistical analyses indicate that inclined elliptical jets exhibit greater mass entrainment characteristics and higher momentum flux compared to non-inclined elliptical jets. The power spectral densities (PSDs) and time-domain spectral proper orthogonal decomposition (td-SPOD) results reveal that for the major-plane inclined-A nozzle, both the leading and trailing vortex rings share the same dominant frequency of St = 0.28, suggesting that vortex pairing and merging in the 30° inclined-A jet may be a periodic process. After vortex merging at approximately <i>Y</i>/<i>D</i><sub><i>e</i></sub> ≈ 3.5, the first axis-switching is completed, indicating that axial switching is suppressed in the major-plane inclined-A elliptical jet compared to the non-inclined case. In contrast, for the minor-plane inclined-B jet, the dominant frequencies of the leading and trailing vortex rings are St = 0.28 and St = 0.61, respectively. In some instances, two consecutive large-scale vortex rings corresponding to SPOD mode (3,4) do not merge downstream; instead, they develop independently and eventually break down separately. At the axis-switching plane (<i>Y</i>/<i>D</i><sub><i>e</i></sub> = 2.5), during both the merging and axis-switching processes of vortex rings in the two inclined nozzles, a significant number of streamwise vortex structures are generated. This phenomenon substantially contributes to an increased mean entrainment rate, further enhancing the mixing characteristics of inclined elliptical jets.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":554,"journal":{"name":"Experiments in Fluids","volume":"66 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143938173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this, spectral proper orthogonal decomposition (SPOD) is applied, a method that can continuously transition between proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and discrete Fourier transformation (DFT)/dynamic mode decomposition (DMD). This provides the opportunity to break down the complex dynamics of interacting and transient processes into interpretable modal bases. Experiments were conducted in a high-speed cavitation tunnel using a two-dimensional NACA 0015 hydrofoil at a fixed Reynolds number of <span>(8 times 10^5)</span> and an incidence of <span>(12^circ)</span> for varying cavitation numbers. The cavitation was recorded using a synchronised dual-camera set-up with simultaneously captured pressure signals. Shockwave-driven and re-entrant flow-driven cloud shedding is identified, as well as the transition regime in between, exhibiting more complex behaviour. The transition from shockwave-driven to re-entrant flow-driven cloud cavitation is smooth, with shockwaves becoming more dominant as the cavitation number decreases. SPOD modes allow for a frequency and amplitude variation, which successfully decomposes the data into the dominant modes, whereas classical modal decomposition methods such as POD and DMD do not provide interpretable decompositions. SPOD grants access to a transient analysis of the data via the SPOD time coefficients. We validate the SPOD results using space–time plots and power spectral density (PSD) of the pressure signals, being in good agreement with the SPOD spatial modes and time coefficients. The complex time coefficients give access to instantaneous mode frequencies and allow calculating a standard deviation of the frequency modulation of the modes. The findings provide a deep insight into the spatial and temporal behaviour of cloud cavitation and support the understanding of its physics.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":554,"journal":{"name":"Experiments in Fluids","volume":"66 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00348-024-03949-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143918995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Four fluids are investigated, which include pure water, as well as three 1750 ppm xanthan-gum-in-water solutions mixed with non-reactive mineral microspheres at volume fractions of 0%, 15%, and 30%.

In contrast, the STSs exhibit pressure-recovery and pipe-wall velocity profiles indicating a reattachment length that is consistently short (8<i>h</i>) and independent of Reynolds number.

Spectral analysis indicates that bubble spacing is coupled with the dominant flow frequency. As orifice spacing increases, bubble interactions weaken, resulting in independent vortex rings near the orifice that grow to approximately twice the bubble’s diameter before shedding secondary vortices. In these cases, regions of strong transport and dissipation are concentrated in the wake, and the flow velocity between bubbles remains relatively weak. Bubble instability primarily originates from the wake vortices. The aspect ratios of the bubbles align with the dominant flow frequency, indicating a coupling between flow dynamics and bubble morphology, although periodicity in bubble spacing weakens at larger spacings.

Understanding the outcome of the impact of compound droplets and their maximum spreading on a solid surface is needed. This research investigates the influence of the controlling parameters, namely a broad range of core size, the core and shell viscosities, and Weber number on the impact outcome and the maximum spreading. Experiments of water-in-oil compound drops impacting on glass surface were conducted up to the range of impact parameters below splashing threshold. An equivalent Weber number (<span>(overline{text{We} })</span>) was introduced to account for the core–shell interfacial energy. Results reveal that the size of the core and the viscosity of the shell play critical roles in determining impact behavior. Larger cores tend to enhance prompt splashing and rebound, while thicker shells dampen the rebound of the vertical jet formed by the core. Viscous cores significantly damped the rebound while had no influence on splashing. The maximum spreading factor is vastly affected by the shell layer viscosity rather than the core’s. The size of the core influences the maximum spreading in two different ways, varying the compound drop viscosity and increasing the core–shell interface.
