- Additional information
- This work presents an analysis of mass transfer in low-Reynolds-number turbulent jets based on the combined results obtained with Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) experiments and with Large Eddy Simulation (LES). The results are significant because they demonstrate the two-dimensionality of the jet concentration in the near-field region before the three-dimensional breakdown of the vortical structures. Based on these results, this distinct behaviour can be tuned to promote or delay the vortex breakdown, thus enhancing or limiting the jet mixing as required by many engineering applications.
