The Effects of Acoustic Excitation on the Mixing of Two Parallel Laminar Streams of Fluid.

Abstract

This project consisted of a study of the effects of acoustic excitation on the mixing of two parallel streams. Experiments were performed using two separate facilities and literature pertaining to the subject was reviewed. It was concluded that acoustic excitation may have a large effect on enhancing the mixing of two parallel streams. Other conclusions were reached pertaining to the process of the excitation which explain the results of the experiments performed and lead to recommendations for continued work.
