Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Impinging jets are commonly used in many different industrial applications for the cooling of electronics or turbine blades as well as for drying textile or paper and for metal cutting, amongst others. Despite decades of research, the complex flow behavior of impinging jets is still not completely understood. However, the development of increasingly advanced numerical and experimental tools has opened up new possibilities in understanding these flows. The field of impinging jets is a broad one and this special issue invites authors to submit research that focusses on the detailed flow behavior and its effect on mass and heat transfer in impinging jet applications. Both numerical and experimental studies are invited, including flow manipulation/control techniques that may lead to performance enhancement.

This paper presents a simple model for slightly charged gas expanding into a vacuum from a planar exit. The number density, bulk velocity, temperature, and potential at the exit are given. The electric field force is assumed weaker than the convection term and is neglected in the analysis. As such, the quasi-neutral condition is naturally adopted and the potential field is computed with the Boltzmann relation. At far field, the exit degenerates as a point source, and simplified analytical formulas for flow and electric fields are obtained. The results are generic and offer insights on many existing models in the literature. They can be used to quickly approximate the flowfield and potential distributions without numerical simulations. They can also be used to initialize a simulation. Based on these results, more advanced models may be further developed. Full article

This review article focuses on the near-field flow characteristics of coaxial circular jets that, despite their common usage in combustion processes, are still not well understood. In particular, changes in outer to inner jet velocity ratios, ru, absolute jet exit velocities and the nozzle dimensions and geometry have a profound effect on the near-field flow that is characterized by shear as well as wake instabilities. This review starts by presenting the set of equations governing the flow field and, in particular, the importance of the Reynolds stress distributions on the static pressure distribution is emphasized. Next, the literature that has led to the current stage of knowledge on coaxial jet flows is presented. Based on this literature review, several regions in the near-field (based on ru) are identified in which the inner mixing layer is either governed by shear or wake instabilities. The latter become dominant when ru≈1. For coaxial jets issued into a quiescent surrounding, shear instabilities of the annular (outer) jet are always present and ultimately govern the flow field in the far-field. We briefly discuss the effect of nozzle geometry by comparing the flow field in studies that used a blockage disk to those that employed thick inner nozzle lip thickness. Similarities and differences are discussed. While impinging coaxial jets have not been investigated much, we argue in this review that the rich flow dynamics in the near-field of the coaxial jet might be put to an advantage in fine-tuning coaxial jets impinging onto surfaces for specific heat and mass transfer applications. Several open questions are discussed at the end of this review. Full article
