The problem of turbulent mixing between two compressible streams in a constant duct area and with eccentric primary flow jet is analyzed. A theoretical analysis is presented for the velocity profiles. It was found that these profiles with or without eccentricity are almost the same if they are referred to the axis of the primary flow jet. An experimental investigation for the case of eccentricity ratio (e/R) equal to 0.25, given area ratios 3 and 7.16 and with a velocity ratio ranging from 1.2 to 2.9 was performed. The theoretical analysis shows good agreement with the experimental results, especially for cases with high area ratios and with low velocity magnitudes. (Author).

A study of non-isoenergetic turbulent jet mixing between two streams has been conducted. Using a previously derived theoretical analysis for ducted mixing, an experimental investigation was performed to verify this theory and to determine the non-isoenergetic turbulent jet mixing characteristics in a constant area duct. Temperature profiles were measured at several axial locations in the duct for both a concentric and an eccentric configuration. It was determined that the oretical and experimental temperature profiles agreed fairly well for both cases, although the concentric case showed better agreement than the eccentric case. It was also determined that a new constant of turbulence in the initial region was needed for non-isoenergetic mixing, mixing is generally more rapid than the theory predicted, the initial temperature difference between the two streams did not have much effect on the rate of mixing and a higher area ratio produced better agreement between the theory and the experimental data. It was concluded that the theory was good for a fairly simplified analysis. (Author).

An investigation was conducted of two-stream, variable-density, turbulent jet mixing with recirculation confined within an axisymmetric duct that simulated a combustor configuration. The recirculating flow fields in the combustor simulator were the result of coaxial jet mixing between a central, primary air stream with a velocity of about 650 ft/sec and an annular secondary stream of hydrogen with velocities of 13, 23, or 48 ft/sec, depending on the desired test conditions. Experimental measurements are presented of radial distributions of time-averaged axial velocity and hydrogen mass fraction, axial distributions of time-averaged static pressure on the duct wall, axial velocity on the duct centerline, and hydrogen mass fraction on the duct wall and on the duct centerline. A theoretical study of the experimental flows was also conducted using a finite difference numerical solution technique for the calculation of viscous, recirculating flows. Comparison of theory and experiment shows that the predictive technique and the turbulence transport model require further development before accurate prediction of recirculating turbulent flows can be realized.

A survey of experimental results for turbulent mixing between two compressible streams in a constant area duct is presented. The experimental results are for area ratios 3 and 7.16, for velocity ratios ranging from 0.4 to 2.8, and with velocity magnitudes varying from 200 ft/sec. to 950 ft/sec. A new constant of turbulence is recommended for the theoretical analysis of the confined jet mixing which uses the free jet mixing concepts. The regions in which this analysis could be used are delineated. (Author).
