Abstract

A two-dimensional hot-air jet is investigated experimentally in the transitional regime. The density effect on the near-field behaviour of the initially laminar jet is explored by flow visualization, mean flow measurements and spectral analysis of fluctuating data. It is shown that the broadband amplitude spectra which characterize cold jets become line-dominated for hot jets when the ratio of the jet-exit to the ambient density is below approximately 0.9. Below this critical density ratio the oscillations in the hot jet are shown to be self-excited. That is, the onset of the global oscillations is identified as a Hopf bifurcation and the critical parameter is determined from amplitude spectra and autobicoherence, with the latter proving to be more reliable. Furthermore, the development of three-dimensional structures, which contribute to the jet spreading, is revealed by flow visualization. It is found that, for the parameters investigated, the spreading of the two-dimensional hot jet is not as spectacular as in the axisymmetry case.
