International audienceWe propose in this work to study an isothermal and a non-isothermal laminar plane wall jet emerging in a coflow steam. The numerical solution of the governing equations was performed by a finite difference method. In this work, we are interested in the study of the influence of Grashof numbers on the wall jet emerging in a medium at rest. Further, we will examine the effect of the coflow stream on the behavior of the dynamic and thermal properties of the wall jet subjected to a constant temperature. A comparison with a simple wall jet is carried out. The results show that for a buoyant wall jet, two parameters can influence the flow: the inertial and buoyancy forces. The velocity effect indicates that the potential core length increases with the velocity ratio. We are also showed that when using a momentum length scale, the normalized longitudinal maximum velocity can reach an asymptotic curve at different velocity ratios
In the current investigation, numerical study of a thermal jet of asymmetric (rectangular and elliptical) and axisymmetric (circular) geometry was investigated with variable density to verify the impact of the ratio of density and geometry on the generation of entropy. The central jet was brought to different temperatures (194, 293 and 2110 K) to obtain density ratios (0.66, 1 and 7.2) identical to a mixture jet ((Air-CO2), (Air-Air) and (Air-He)), respectively. Solving the three-dimensional numerical resolution of the Navier Stocks for turbulent flow permanent enclosed on the turbulence model K-εstandard was made. The results acquired are compared with that carried out in previous experimental studies, where it was concluded that, the axisymmetric (circular) geometry increases the entropy generation.
