Abstract
The vortex rings generated in non-circular jets are deformed and interacted three-dimensionally owing to self-induced velocity, and the vortex motion enhances mixing. To understand the mechanism of the mixing enhancement, it is crucial to make clear the three-dimensional vortical structure caused by the interaction of non-circular vortices. In the present study, the details of three-dimensional vortical structure of a rectangular jet of aspect ratio 4 is clarified using Large Eddy Simulation (LES), and the interaction mechanism of rectangular vortices is discussed, focusing the deformation of vortices. The simulation results reveal the details of the vortex interaction in the rectangular jet: the vortices deform owing to the non-uniform curvature effect, and the interaction of vortices generates hairpin vortices via vortex stretching.
