Tóm tắt

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the coherent structures of pulsed opposing jets by large eddy simulation (LES) model and proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) snapshot method. Flow pulsation as an active flow control method is considered for the enhancement of transport phenomena in impinging jets. The effect of flow pulsation parameters such as pulsation signal shape and frequency on the vortical coherent structures, the energy content of primary modes and their variation are studied numerically. Design/methodology/approach In this study, flow field of turbulent pulsating opposing jets has been simulated using LES. The result of the simulation in different time steps (snapshots) are stored and POD is applied on the snapshots. In this study, the POD method and calculation of spatial modes has been done using OpenFOAM, and time coefficients have been calculated using a MATLAB code. Findings The results of this study show that the flow excitation has a great effect on the coherent structure formation and the energy containment of fundamental modes of the flow. When the flow was excited by a harmonic sinusoidal or step function, the turbulent kinetic energy accumulated in the set of primary modes. On the other hand, the pulsed opposing jets had more regularity compared to the steady jets. The shapes, patterns and energy values of dominant modes depended on the inlet pulsation signal. An increase in pulsation frequency leads to an augmentation in energy content of the primary modes. Research limitations/implications The predictions may be extended to include various pulsation conditions such as: various amplitudes, Reynolds number and aspect ratio. Practical implications The results of this study are a valuable source of information for active control of transport phenomena in opposing jet configurations which is used in different industrial applications such as cooling, combustion, reactors, heating and drying processes. Originality/value In this study, the coherent structures and energy content of primary modes was studied for the first time by LES model and POD snapshot method and a comprehensive discussion on numerical results is provided.
