Thermal Field of Twin Variably Elevated Tandem Jets in Crossflow

Article Preview

Abstract:

Consideration is given to twin inline elliptical fume jets issuing within an oncoming cooler environmental crossflow. Jets are emitted from similar nozzles, characterized by a variable injection height. Such a configuration is found at large scale, in the industrial urban zones, and more particularly in multiple chimney power plants. It is found at small scale as well like in cooling in electronic devices. The present study is carried out numerically by means of the finite volume method together with the Reynolds Stress Model (RSM) second order turbulent closure model and non uniform grid system particularly refined around the emitting nozzles. Emphasis is put on the temperature distribution around the emitting nozzles in order to highlight the joint effect of the jets elevation and temperature. It was mainly found that both parameters are complementary and help straitening the discharged jets, leading their thermal mixing away from the injection ground. Nomenclature
