The results show that the mean centerline velocity decays as x-1/3 and the jet spreads as x2/3 in the self-similar region, which are consistent with the theoretical predictions and the experimental data. The time histories and PSD analyses of the instantaneous centerline velocities indicate the periodic behavior and the interaction between periodic components of velocities should not be neglected in the far field region, although it is invisible in the near field region.展开更多

The Keulegan-Carpenter number is relevantly a constant of 0.6 for all cases. The Strouhal number, the mean and the RMS values of the effective drag coefficient in the streamwise and transverse directions are computed for various Reynolds numbers, and the velocity of a rep- resentative point in the turbulent zone is simulated to find the turbulent feature. It is found that the wave-current interaction should be considered as three-dimensional flow when the Reynolds number is high; under wave-current effect, there exists a critical Reynolds number, and when the Reynolds number is smaller than the critical one, current effect on wave can be nearly neglected; conversely, with the Reynolds number increasing, wave-currentstructure interaction is sensitive to the Reynolds number.展开更多

As a discovery, the super-stability analysed by Lallemand and Luo is verified and the complex structure of the cavity flow is also exhibited in our numerical simulation when Re is high enough. To the best knowledge of the authors, the maximum of Re which has been investigated by direct numerical simulation is only around 50 000 in the literature; however, this paper can readily extend the maximum to 1000 000 with the above combination.展开更多

The calculations were performed by means of solving the 2-D Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes （URANS） equations with a k-ε turbulence model. The calculated results, produced flow structure drag and lift coefficients, as well as Strouhal numbers. The findings were in good agreement with previous published data, which also supplied us with a good understanding of the flow across cylinders of different high Reynolds numbers. Meanwhile, an effective measure was presented to control the lift force on a cylinder, which points the way to decrease the vortex induced vibration of marine structure in future.展开更多

Specifically an experimental investigation is performed for the influences of Uo, D and Reo on the mean-velocity decay and spread coefficients （Ku, Kr） in the far field of a circular air jet into air from a smoothly contracting nozzle. Present measurements agree well with those previously obtained under similar inflow conditions. The relations Ku ∝ Uo and Kr ∝ 1/Uo for Uo 〈 5 m/s appear to work, while each coefficient approaches asymptotically to a constant for Uo 〉 6 m/s, regardless of the magnitudes of Reo and D. It is revealed that Reo may not be an appropriate dimensionless parameter to characterize the entire flow of a free air/air jet. This paper is the first paper that has challenged the suitability of Reo for turbulent free jets.展开更多

Numerical results show that the instantaneous centerline velocities show periodic oscillation behavior in far field region when Re〉38. In contrast, the periodic behavior is invisible in corresponding flow field when Re≤38. For the cases of Re≤38, the exchange of momentum due to straining mo- tion gradually dominates the downstream flow filed, which qualitatively suggests the possibility of iet instability.展开更多
