Flow regimes of large-velocity-ratio coaxial jets

H Rehab, E Villermaux, EJ Hopfinger - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1997 - cambridge.org
An investigation of the near-field flow structure of coaxial jets with large outer to inner
velocity ratio ru has been conducted. Since in all cases ru> 1, the outer jet dominates the …

A systematic approach to the numerical calculation of fundamental quantities of the two-dimensional flow over a circular cylinder
