Mixing between a round jet and a transverse turbulent pipe flow

A light‐scatter technique, marker nephelometry, was used to obtain air‐in‐air mixing data on the system resulting from the injection, at right angles through a port in the wall, of a round subsonic jet into a fully developed turbulent pipe flow. Though the pipe Reynolds number was also varied, the important input variables were the port to pipe mean speed ratio of the input streams (2.5–12.5), and the port to pipe diameter ratio (0.020–0.058). Jet trajectories were measured and the associated mixing field was characterized in terms of both the jet source fluid mean concentration and concentration fluctuations. The process was also studied as to concentration fluctuation spectral density, integral scale, and intermittency.
