A Water Model Study of Recirculating Flow in a Single Injector Reactor.

Abstract

A cylindrical water model was used to visualize the flow field in a jet-stirred bath. The model was made of transparent plexiglass. A plane of light illuminated a cross section of the cylinder containing its axis and the point of injection; and thereby illuminating the small alumina particles suspended in the water. The flow field was photographed, and dye visualization studies were also conducted. A simple modification to the TEACH computer code was made so as to account for the geometry of the model. Computer runs were made for different injector Reynolds numbers. Conclusions were made regarding the mean and fluctuating nature of the flow field. (Author)
