Abstract
Mixing of gases using jets in cross-flow is investigated with the help of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling. This is particularly encountered in hydrocarbon oxidation reactions. A mixture of such gaseous reactants results in the flammable zones inside the mixer. In the present work, CFD simulations have been carried out for various jet angles (30°, 45° downstream, 90° and 45° upstream) and for different orifice shapes (defined in terms of aspect ratio, AR). The model has been validated with experimental data reported in the past literature. Results have been analyzed in terms of volume of mixing region and turbulent viscosity. Also, the characteristics mixing time is calculated for different conditions.
