Abstract

A jet in crossflow formed by the interaction between the jet and a main flow is a typical unsteady flow. Jet in crossflow have been studied using experimental and numerical approaches. In particular, a sweeping jet in crossflow has recently attracted attention from the viewpoint of active flow separation control. A sweeping jet, which is an oscillating jet with high frequency and large amplitude, energy can be injected widely into the flow separation area. However, the flow fields formed by the interaction between the sweeping jet and the main flow and their flow mechanisms are poorly understood, it has not been put to practical use. Furthermore, the flow structure produced by the interaction between a sweeping jet and a main flow with different behaviors is very complex and difficult to understand. Therefore, it is extremely important to elucidate the flow structure generated by the interaction between a sweeping jet and a main flow. In this study, the detailed vortex structure generated by the interaction between the sweeping jet and the main flow was quantitatively examined using stereo PIV. The vortex structure behaves differently depending on the velocity ratio. The larger velocity ratio, a sweeping jet extends to the wake and develops near the wall.
