Abstract:
The flow of a jet stream entering a cross flow main stream is modelled along with introducing the related App. The turbulent flow details are computed and validated against similar computational and experimental results. For example, dimensionless streamwise and cross-streamwise velocity components, dimensionless turbulent kinetic energy, and dissipation are shown in colour-expression figures, along with streamlines near the jet entrance to the main stream flow. The results agree with those from the existing references. We used a custom designed structured mesh for all models. Also, for democratization of the model applications a COMSOL® model-based App is built and introduced.
