Abstract
An annular nozzle has been designed on the basis of fluidic principles. The nozzle forms actively controlled air jet. Numerical and experimental investigations were performed in several subsequent steps, namely numerical simulation (using a commercial CFD code FLUENT), geometry adaptation, models manufacturing, flow visualization, hot-wire measurement, and mass transfer (naphthalene sublimation) experiment. A “jet switching” possibility has been discussed, an undesirable hysteresis effect has been suppressed. Present collaborative numerical and experimental investigations have resulted in a better understanding of mechanisms involved in controlled impinging jets, as well as in a further improvement of the particular nozzle geometry.
