Abstract:Ultrafast mixing enhancement has been realized in confined mixing layers at an optimal forcing frequency, under which the flow exhibits the strongest mixing. The fast mixing is accompanied by the so-called counter-rotating vortices (CRVs). In this investigation, by using particle imaging velocimetry (PIV) and laser-induced fluorescence, the conditions of generating CRVs in confined mixing layers are theoretically and experimentally investigated. To generate CRVs, (a) the acoustic particle displacement must be … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
