Abstract

The vee-gutter, which was conventionally used in a combustor for flame holding, was re-designed by employing the unsteady Coanda effect to inject fluids periodically into near wake of the vee-gutter. Fluidic targets were developed to induce self-sustained transverse oscillation of slit-jet. The self-sustained oscillating jet was conducted through passages and injected into the near wake of the vee-gutter. The behaviors and frequency characteristics of the slit-jet in the oscillation cavity and the turbulence properties in the wake were studied experimentally in a wind-tunnel by using the smoke-wire flow visualization technique and the hot-wire anemometer. The oscillation frequencies of the presently developed jet-injection vee-gutter were about 25 to 40 times higher than that of the conventionally used fluidic flowmeter. By estimating the Lagrangian integral time scale and employing the Taylor's frozen flow hypothesis, the integral length scales of turbulence fluctuations were calculated. The results showed that the integral length scales of turbulences of the jet-injected vee-gutter were significantly smaller than their counter parts of the conventional vee-gutter, which indicated the effects of vortex stretching induced by the periodic jet injection. The modifications of turbulence properties were presented and discussed.
