An investigation was conducted of two-stream, variable-density, turbulent jet mixing with recirculation confined within an axisymmetric duct that simulated a combustor configuration. The recirculating flow fields in the combustor simulator were the result of coaxial jet mixing between a central, primary air stream with a velocity of about 650 ft/sec and an annular secondary stream of hydrogen with velocities of 13, 23, or 48 ft/sec, depending on the desired test conditions. Experimental measurements are presented of radial distributions of time-averaged axial velocity and hydrogen mass fraction, axial distributions of time-averaged static pressure on the duct wall, axial velocity on the duct centerline, and hydrogen mass fraction on the duct wall and on the duct centerline. A theoretical study of the experimental flows was also conducted using a finite difference numerical solution technique for the calculation of viscous, recirculating flows. Comparison of theory and experiment shows that the predictive technique and the turbulence transport model require further development before accurate prediction of recirculating turbulent flows can be realized.
An experimental investigation of ducted, two stream, subsonic, reactive, turbulent jet mixing with recirculation was conducted. A primary jet of air at a mass flow rate of 0.075 lb/sec and velocity of 700 ft/sec was surrounded by an outer, low velocity, hydrogen stream. Data were obtained with hydrogen-air ratios of 0.143 and 0.107. The duct-to-inner nozzle diameter ratio was ten. Radial distributions of hydrogen mass fraction, mean axial velocity, turbulence intensity, and total pressure as well as axial distributions of wall hydrogen mass fraction and wall static pressure are presented for axial stations from one-half to five duct diameters from the nozzle exit plane. Comparison of the experimental data with calculations assuming frozen or equilibrium chemistry indicate that he measured velocity, pressure, and composition data are, in general, self-consistent. The maximum turbulent intensities which occurred in the center of the mixing layer and within the recirculation eddy were very high having values of 20 percent of the jet exit velocity. The velocity and composition field indicate that, while and mixing in the reactive flow field is slower than for the nonreactive case, the reaction had little effect on the size and location of the recirculation zone within the mixing duct.
