The Mixing of Swirling Flows,
Abstract
The results of an investigation of the effects of swirling the inner stream upon the mixing rate of co-annular flows will be presented. The presentation will consist of three major sections: Model Of An Ideal Mixer With Swirl--The overall investigation was motivated by the desire to lead to understanding of some of the mechanisms existing in real aircraft mixers. To this end, the effects of swirl upon the performance of ideal mixers was determined so that the unavoidable losses due to the presence of non-axial momentum etc. could be determined (in comparison to conventional ideal mixers). EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM--A large high pressure air storage system has been adapted to provide flow rates of up to a total of ten pounds per second. PRELIMINARY RESULTS--The data is in the process of being reduced and interpreted.
