Abstract

The near field of a Reynolds number and low-Mach-number cylindrical jet has been investigated by means of a high-speed stereo PIV setup that provides the spatio-temporal velocity field in a transverse plane, two diameters downstream of the jet exit. Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and spatio-temporal correlations are used to identify some of the main dynamical features of this flow. We show that the flow is dominated by streamwise vortices whose production and spatial organization can be related to and perturbations, and to the mean shear of the mixing layer. A dynamical scenario is proposed which describes this interaction, in accordance with our observations.
