Extract

Further experiments on the detailed study of annular jets are described in which the mean and fluctuating properties in the inner region have been measured. The experiments in the conical jetf have shown, besides the jet† vortices in the outer mixing region, another train of vortices in the inner region. This train of vortices is due to the wake formed by the boundary layer on the surface of the conical bullet.

The experiments in the inner region of the basic annular jet have similar mean velocity profiles to those in the internal recirculating region. Good correlation is found for the location of the vortex centre, the location of reattachment, the minimum and maximum mean static pressure and their locations with the non-dimensional available pressure M°/AiPatm for entrainment behind the interface. A train of wake vortices is generated in the internal recirculating region and a train of jet vortices is found in the inner mixing region. Both types of vortices in the inner region seem to decay fairly rapidly within a distance of one outer diameter D° downstream.

The disturbances associated with the wake vortices in the inner region seem to excite the outer mixing region. This results in another wave or train of vortices observed in the outer shear layer in addition to the jet vortices which are already in existence.
