Unsteady simulation of jets in a cross flow (Q1368653)

Effects of the computational time step and grid stretching on numerical solutions of a two-dimensional laminar boundary layer with a planar jet injected from a wall are investigated using a fully implicit time advancement scheme. A full three-dimensional numerical simulation has been performed to qualitatively investigate the interaction of jets in a turbulent cross flow using the direct numerical simulation technique. Turbulent vortex sheddings are observed behind jets a show a rapid diffusion in the down-stream. It is also shown that a counter-rotating vortex pair existing in the downstream of the jet plays an important role in the dynamics of the jet in a cross flow.
