Abstract

The present paper analyzes the features of a low-Reynolds number free submerged jet with special regard to statistical quantities on the jet centerline. Measurements in an environment with very low disturbances allowed to observe details of turbulence and higher-order moments. Some peculiar features of the measured (natural) jet are shown to be in correspondence to observations referring to forced higher-Reynolds number jets. In particular, it is shown that, at low Reynolds numbers, the initial region of the jet is dominated by well-defined vortices in the shear layer. This result is substantiated by both the statistical moments and the spectral analysis. The presence of two distinct regimes is evidenced and discussed from a physical standpoint, also in relation to the mathematical analysis of the jet structure from the bibliography.

Fußnoten
1
Nominal outlet velocities of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 m/s.
 
2
Data were cut at U/U 0 ≈ 0.1, for the same reasons described above, also for numerical integrations.
 
3
The virtual origin is defined as the point where the extrapolation of 1/U * reaches a value of 0.
 
4
Because of data rectification (the SHW cannot discriminate the flow direction), the measured velocity distribution is more skewed towards the positive side than the actual velocity distribution.
 
5
The main difference being that the abscissa where the regularity of the time trace begins to decay changes with the exit velocity.
 
6
The T u value in this case will correspond to the RMS value of a sinusoid, which is the maximum deviation from the average times \(\sqrt{2}\). It can be easily verified that this relationship is respected in the early region of the jet.
 
7
In principle, the helical structure should induce a constant velocity on the axis. But in practice, small imperfections in the placement of the hot-wire sensor on the axis of the jet, or slight deviations of the jet from a perfectly straight path, would cause a fluctuation in the signal because of the different distance of the sensor from the various parts of the helix, though the amplitude of this fluctuation should be modest and quite uniform.
 
8
From a mathematical standpoint, other helical modes can be unstable, but it was demonstrated that they would never actually appear in a flow.
