Abstract

An extensive experimental study using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) on synthetic jets issuing from different orifice shapes is reported. All data are phase and time averaged to derive mean velocity, half-velocity width and rms velocity profiles in the near field of the jet (0 < X/D < 7), at a Reynolds number around 10,000. Different non-circular orifice shapes as rectangular, square, elliptic and triangular are considered and results are compared to those of the circular orifice in order to investigate the effect of asymmetry on the turbulent flow field in view of mixing enhancement. The measurements are carried out on two orthogonal planes to capture three dimensional features of non-circular jets. Results show highest velocity decay rate for elongated orifices, especially the rectangular one, in comparison to the circular one, both in phase and time-averaged plots. Time averaged results show higher velocity decay rate of synthetic jets in comparison to those of continuous ones. It is also observed that, for X/D > 5, only profiles of circular and square jets become partially self-similar. For synthetic jets, higher turbulence content is measured for all orifice shapes at the centerline and close to the orifice exit in comparison to continuous jets.
