A three-dimensional analytical model for multiple jets based on reichardt’s hypothesis and velocity deflection interface concept
摘要
Analytical models are among the most direct and efficient methods for predicting jet behavior in engineering and practical applications. Based on Reichardt’s hypothesis, the momentum transformation equation for a single free jet was derived. Using a superposition approach, the momentum distribution for multiple jets was determined, enabling the development of a three-dimensional analytical model for multiple parallel jets. The effectiveness of this superposition technique in predicting the mean streamwise velocity components of multiple jets was validated through a combination of experimental and numerical simulations. For non-parallel jets, interactions between jets result in deflections as they enter the flow field, introducing the concept of a“velocity deflection interface”. Due to experimental limitations, accurately determining the position of the velocity deflection interface is challenging, making numerical simulations the preferred approach.
