Introduction Jet flow is of great interest for scientists and engineers. It is encountered in many engineering, appligations such as furnaces due to its ability to enhance and control combustion. Its potentially useful in the Aeronautics industry for its capability to produce thrast and reduce engine noise. Industrial activities often result in large quantities of pollutants being discharged into the atrnospbere and hydrosphete (rivers, lakes, oceans) in the form of turbulent jets. These damage the ecosystem and endanger human health Lime heey Deru Further research in this field is necessary to allow for better understanding of jet flow behavior and 10 provide a means for validating computational models. x As aesult of this importance, several studies have been performed to better understand non-swirl > jet flow [1], (2], 3).

The full set of Reynolds Average ‘Stokes (RANS) equations in cylindrical coordinates are presented as follows: Fig. 1 Schematic of non-swirling jt flow coordinate system [4] Ceummust wer Re Per oF Te Semoce Liew Weir MAb Prancanet Fraime, Uber we a inch, v, w are instantaneous axial, radial, and tangential velocity components respectively. <~ |e oe Then the Reynolds decomposition is applied on the instanteous equation by splitting Wew. aU suy=+9, 5 "Sieh U, V, W are the mean axial radial, and tangential velocity and u, v, and w are fluctuations in axial, radial and tangential directions.

From the momentum equation in the azimuthal direction, it can be concluded that the remaining tem (radil-azimuthal term) is equal to zeroy Sich that for non-swirlng jet flow, the radial-azimuthal stress plays a small role in the flow dynamics 2nd its ceaticion right be unnecessary, ean be coveuded frm the simplified eautons thai} anja] mean velocity and etal ai pombined with resses should be measur ‘order to confirm the above mentioned assumptions, the assumed parameters can be measured in the experiment, For example, the mean azimutha! velocity can be measured to see that itis in fact zero, oF not. Velocity and pressure can be measured for the same radial and axial locations, but different azimuthal locations to determine whether i is axisymmetric’ In addition, from the simplified equation, for instance, the r-momentum equation, it can be concluded thatthe cross-stream pressure gradient is almost entirely due to the gradient of the cross-stream turbulence intensity. Thus, both of these quantities can be measured, and then checked whether they are actualy in balance or not. Wier onthe vizcumnpiee.
