Averaged and time‐resolved, full‐field (three‐dimensional), measurements of unsteady opposed jets

Abstract

Abstract Full‐field, time‐resolved, velocity vector information was obtained for an opposing jet reactor. The velocities were measured by particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) over a range of jet Reynolds numbers (200–5000). The main results reported are for a Reynolds number of 200. Graphical representation of the extensive data fields cannot be conveniently reported here; however, examples are provided. A more thorough presentation is possible by using color and dynamic representations and these are provided at the URL (Uniform Resource Locator, i.e., the address for a location on the Internet) cited in Zhao and Brodkey (1998). It is important to emphasize that the velocity fields presented in this paper are experimental.
