Abstract

Spectral analysis and flow visualization are presented for various velocity ratios and Reynolds numbers of a jet issuing perpendicularly from a developing pipe flow into a crossflow. The results are complete with conditional averages of various turbulent quantities for one jet-to-cross-flow velocity ratio R of 0.5. A unique conditional-sampling technique separated the contributions from the turbulent jet flow, the irrotational jet flow, the turbulent crossflow and the irrotational crossflow by using two conditioning functions simultaneously. The intermittency factor profiles indicate that irrotational cross-flow intrudes into the pipe but does not contribute to the average turbulent quantities, while the jet-pipe irrotational flow contributes significantly to them in the region above the exit where the interaction between the boundary-layer eddies and those of the pipe starts to take place. Further downstream, the contributions of the oncoming boundary-layer eddies to the statistical averages reduce significantly. The downstream development depends mainly on the average relative eddy sizes of the interacting turbulent fields.
