Abstract
An experimental study of spatially localized very large-scale motion superstructures, propagating in a jet of carbon dioxide at low Reynolds numbers, was carried out. A hot-wire anemometer and a high-speed 2D PIV with a frequency of 7 kHz were used as measuring instruments. Such a puff-type superstructure in a jet with a longitudinal dimension of up to 20–30 nozzle diameters are initially formed in the jet source—a long tube in a laminar-turbulent transition mode (without artificial disturbances). It is shown that this regime with intermittency in time, when part of the time flow is laminar and the other part of time is turbulent, exists both at the exit from the nozzle and in the near field of the jet. Thus, the structural stability of such turbulent superstructures in the near field of the jet was found. Despite the large longitudinal scale, these formations have a transverse dimension of the order of several nozzle diameters. These structures have a complex internal topology, that is, superstructures are a conglomeration of vortices of different sizes from macroscale to microscale. Using the example of diffusion combustion of methane in air, it is demonstrated that in reacting jets, the existence of such large localized perturbations is a powerful physical mechanism for a global change in the flame topology. At the same time, the presence of a cascade of vortices of different sizes in the puff composition can lead to fractal deformation of the flame front.

Summary
Beginning from the Refs. [1,2], coherent structures have become an essential part of jet flows. According to our of 18 earlier research, large-scale structures appear in near-wall flows, and in jet flows [21,22,23] The vortices of such scales can be observed in the jets issuing from long axisymmetric channels at critical Reynolds numbers of 2000–3000. In this transitional attention is being paidintonature very large-scale motion superstructures range,Currently, the flowmuch in a pipe is intermittent [18,20]. The puffs are issued from a long pipe and in nature [18,20] This means that, in the time scale, the instantaneous flow velocity looks like move downstream to form superstructures l/d~20–30 perturbing the jet [21,22,23].
