    Notes: A modified Rayleigh equation has been derived for the study of spatial instability of gas–particle two-phase mixing layers. The particles are assumed to have a material density much greater than the carrier fluid. The mathematical model is based on the assumptions that the mean flow profile can be approximated as that of the particle-free single-phase mixing layer and that the two phases are in dynamic equilibrium at the start of the perturbation. The resulting eigenvalue problem was solved numerically. The major finding from the analysis is that the presence of the particles enhances the stability of the two-phase flow and decreases the amplification rate of perturbations in the flow. The results show that the stability of the flow is enhanced with increased particle loading and decreased free-stream velocity ratio. For a given free-stream velocity ratio, the most amplified growth rates decrease almost linearly with the particle loading. The most amplified growth rate, however, occurs near the same angular frequency as that of the particle-free flow. The effect of particle on the perturbation phase velocity is most significant for smaller values of the angular frequency. However, the presence of particles does not change the phase velocity at the angular frequency corresponding to the most amplified rate for the single-phase flow. The phase velocity of the perturbations is slower compared to particle-free flows for modes with frequencies below the maximum amplified frequency, while it is the opposite for modes at frequencies above the maximum amplified frequency. The profiles of streamwise and cross-stream velocity fluctuations are also modified by the existence of particles. The magnitude of effects is related closely to the particle loading. For temporal instability of a two-phase mixing layer, the growth rate in time decreases linearly with increasing particle loading, which is consistent with the spatial instability results.

    Notes: Experimental and numerical results concerning solid particle motion in a plane wake are presented that demonstrate the importance of large-scale vortex structures in self-organizing dispersion processes. Previous studies have demonstrated that a time scale ratio involving the aerodynamic response time of the particles and a characteristic time of the vortex structures is an important parameter for indicating the qualitative and quantitative nature of the dispersion process. A stretching and folding mechanism associated with vortex development and merging interactions has been suggested as a description for characterizing particle dispersion in plane mixing layers at intermediate time scale ratios. For plane wakes where large-scale vortex mergers rarely occur, a highly organized particle dispersion process focuses intermediate time scale ratio particles along the boundaries of the large-scale vortices. The fractal correlation dimension associated with chaotic systems is found to be a useful parameter for quantifying the relative organization of the dispersion patterns as a function of the particle time scale ratio.

    Notes: Abstract The near field of helium-air jets exhausting into an air environment has been experimentally investigated using an aspiration probe and flow visualization. Jets with varying density ratios and Reynolds numbers were studied. Pure helium jets with density ratios of 0.14 were found to display a self-excited behavior characterized by intense mixing. The centerline concentration decay was found to be substantially increased for the self-excited jet. Flow visualization revealed the expulsion of side jets from the potential core region of low density jets. Radial profiles of concentration provide additional evidence that side-jets produce vigorous mixing.

    Notes: The turbulent momentum transport phenomena in a two-dimensional mixing layer are investigated numerically by a discrete vortex method. The numerical model and calculations are verified through a comparison with existing numerical simulations and experimental measurements. The main emphasis is placed on the exploration of the detailed time-dependent instantaneous local momentum fluctuations and on the comparison of numerical results with available experimental measurements. The current simulations confirm qualitatively the various trends in the turbulent momentum flux and fluctuating components of the velocity in the mixing layer found with several experimental results. The study shows that similarity exists in turbulent momentum quantities along the axial direction of the mixing layer. The calculations also show a definite correlation between the passage of a large-scale structure and a burst in the turbulent momentum flux. The probability density functions of the fluctuating quantities are shown to be mostly Gaussian-like, with only a few exceptions.
