Experimental Investigation of the Entrainment Mechanism in Circular and Lobed Hemispherical Jets
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Better mixing in the near-field region of jets with their surrounding fluid is of high interest for several industrial applications. Passive control that involves jet geometry modifications as compared to the traditional circular design is used in the present work. An analysis of the entrainment mechanism in the near jet-exit field is proposed for innovative hemispherical nozzles (circular and six-lobed). High-speed Time-Resolved Particle Image Velocimetry (TR-PIV) measurements are used to experimentally characterize the entrainment mechanism in these jets. The distributions of mean entrainment rates, shear layer growth, and momentum flux are investigated along the longitudinal direction within the near-field region of both circular and lobed hemispherical jets. Significant entrainment enhancement is found using the hemispherical geometry as a passive-control method. By comparing both investigated hemispherical nozzle geometries, it has been demonstrated that the lobed nozzle provides higher mixing rates compared to the circular jet. This enhancement in mixing can be attributed to the stronger streamwise vortex structures generated by the lobed nozzle geometry, which promote increased entrainment of the surrounding fluid.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
