Abstract

A square jet (Re H = 1130) with mixing tabs has been investigated using Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) and Laser Doppler Anemometer (LDA). The tabs were tilted either downstream (i.e., at θ= 45°) or upstream (i.e., at θ= 135°). With the existence of four tabs, the jet flow was bifurcated into a four finger structure. However, for the case of θ= 135°, there was an additional "mushroom" structure behind each tab. Smoke-wire visualizations on a delta wing (analog to the triangular tab) confirmed that a vortex pair would be formed regardless the tip tilted downstream or upstream; however, the rotating direction of the vortex pair for the two cases was opposite to each other. The results were used to explain the difference of flow structure between the two tabbed cases.
