A coaxial jet was actively controlled by a MEMS-fabricated micro flap actuator nozzle. The effect of different control modes on secondary azimuthal instabilities and the evolution streamwise vortices were investigated applying stereoscopic PIV to cross-stream plane jet. Forcing with non-symmetric modes, in particular least-stable helical mode, accelerates through enhancement instabilities. Although forcing is applied outer shear layer jet, most pronounced inner Unlike natural appear For...

Active mixing control of gaseous coaxial jets is achieved using magnetic flap actuators arranged on the inner periphery outer annular nozzle. The spatio-temporal velocity fields and scalar are studied through a particle image velocimeter laser-induced fluorescence method. Flap motion forces shear layer to roll up into large-scale ring vortices. When momenum flux jet much larger than that central jet, also rolls vortices, which pinch off significantly. Near-field process dominated by while...

It is well known that nozzle internal geometries affect the characteristics of diesel spray and combustion. However, despite a number studies, effects are difficult to generalize. also not clear which features more important for combustion than others. To investigate these subjects, comprehensive dataset on was obtained with 20 variations multi-hole injector nozzle. The had different combinations orifice diameter, length, sac length hub-to-tip ratio, cover large range existing production...

A novel flame temperature measurement technique based on two-line OH planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) is presented. In order to measure of an unsteady using a single excitation laser and ICCD camera, new conditional image processing method has been introduced. this method, ensemble-averaged intensities at the front, which are taken by two lines, used, mean each streamwise position calculated. The present thermometry applied methane/air coaxial jet flame, actively controlled...

Active control of a lifted flame was achieved using coaxial nozzle with micro magnetic flap actuators arranged on the inner periphery annular nozzle. The spatio-temporal structure studied by laser-induced fluorescence method and particle image velocimeter, while exhaust gas examined an FT-IR analyzer. Near-field vortical structures in jet are manipulated introducing disturbances directly to initial shear layer. They were generated driven square-or saw-wave signals. modified square-wave...

This study sought to improve the accuracy of simulating spray penetration and combustion ignition delay by means data assimilation (DA). The simulations were conducted using Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations assimilating schlieren image data.
