Abstract
The flow and scalar field in the cross section of a bent-over momentum jet in cross-flow has been investigated via a 2D numerical solution of the governing equations with similarity transformation. The semianalytical model employs a free shear layer model for turbulent closure and the assumption of a constant velocity in the direction of the cross-flow; the entire solution depends solely on a dimensionless turbulent mixing parameter λ that measures the relative importance of advection and diffusion. The computed streamlines and vorticity field clearly indicate a vortex-pair flow for all λ. The shape of the scalar distribution, however, grows from a circular cell to a kidney-shaped double peak structure. Using a value of λ = 55, the computed jet trajectory and spreading and the cross-sectional shape are in good agreement with the experiments, although the dilution is somewhat overpredicted. The results suggest a free shear layer model of e = 0.0272Wml*, where e, Wm, and l* are the eddy viscosity, maximum v...
