Experimental Investigation of Velocity and Turbulence Variations in

In this study, the changes of velocity and turbulence for an inclined jet in cross-flow areinvestigated experimentally. Cylindrical and rectangular hole geometries are used in theexperiments. The blowing ratio is 1.75, and the injection angle with respect to the horizontalplane is 30o. The injection holes in the models are in a single row. The diameters of holes,which have a cylindrical cross section, are 8.5 mm. The rectangular cross section holes are 9x 6.5 mm. The injection holes are inclined at 30o along the mainstream direction. The air isinjected at 57 oC and its blowing ratio is 1.75. The results show that turbulence intensitychanges with hole geometry. In this study, turbulence intensity is higher in the region close tothe wall because of the jet impact. The penetrations of the cylindrical jets into the main floware deeper than the penetrations of the rectangular jets, and turbulence intensities of thecylindrical jets are larger than the penetrations of the rectangular jets.
