Abstract This work presents a study on the effect of pulsing on a jet flow. Pulsing is used to modify jet inlet conditions with the objective of improving mixing. In this experimental work, a jet was slightly heated so that temperature could be considered as a passive scalar. The spectral behaviour of velocity and the passive scalar temperature was analyzed along the jet axis with and without pulsing. Low frequency pulsing (f/fS< 0.05 fSthe Strouhal frequency) modifies the spectral composition of the velocity at the jet exit, but it does not affect the asymptotic profile reached… More >
