Abstract

Large-eddy simulations (LES) of two plane impinging jets have been conducted. Predictions were first conducted for a natural impinging jet and found to be in good agreement with the experimental data of Yoshida et al. The validated code was then used to study the vortical structures of a forced impinging jet which had been experimentally investigated by Sakakibara et al. The numerical results show that the predictions have clearly captured the spanwise rollers, successive ribs, cross ribs and wall ribs observed by Sakakibara et al. They also show the predicted average convection velocity to be in good agreement with the measured value. Overall, the present study demonstrates the potential of LES simulations as a reliable tool to optimize the performance of engineering systems involving the use of forced impinging jets by regulating cross ribs through the inlet perturbations.
