Abstract

An experimental study and numerical investigation of thermal mixing are carried out on tandem twin jets in cross flow. Experiments were carried out for velocity ratios 1, 2 and 4 for 15 °C temperature difference between main pipe and jet fluid. Velocity and temperature fields are measured using Hot Film Anemometer (HFA). Three dimensional steady state Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations have been carried out to predict the velocity and temperature fields. The predicted velocity and temperature fields are in good agreement with the experimental measurements. Temperature fluctuations have been predicted using temperature variance model. The effect of jet spacing for different velocity ratios is studied. For jet spacing equal to twice the jet diameter, both the jets influence each other. Increase in the jet spacing decreases the effect of jets on each other.
