Abstract
The mixing of an acoustically pulsed air jet with a confined hot crossflow has been assessed by temperature profile measurements. These novel experiments were designed to examine the affects of acoustic driver power and Strouhal number on jet structure, penetration and mixing. The results showed that excitation produced strong changes in the measured temperature profiles. This resulted in significant increases in mixing zone size, penetration (at least 100% increase), mixing, and the length to achieve a given mixed state was shortened by at least 70%. There was strong modification to the jet-wake region. The increase in jet penetration and mixing was saturating near 90 W the largest driving power tested. The jet response as determined by penetration and mixing was optimum at a Strouhal number of 0.27. Overall, pulsating the jet flow significantly improved the jet mixing processes in a controllable manner.
