Abstract
Mixing in an axisymmetric concentrated KCl solution jet emerging in a less salty coflowing water has been experimentally investigated. This has been achieved by coupling laser Doppler velocimetry to a microconductimetry technique in view of measuring the turbulent fluxes and and deducing the turbulent diffusivity. The cross-correlation coefficient between radial velocity and concentration Rcv reaches a maximum value of 0.77 when the one relative to axial velocity Rcu gets smaller and does not exceed 0.37 under the same conditions. The total turbulence intensity, global microscale, kinetic energy dissipation rate, and turbulent diffusion coefficient in the radial direction have also been determined. In a jet section, the turbulent diffusion coefficient was found to vary from 180 to 2000 times the KCl molecular diffusivity Dm.
