Flow visualization studies for submerged impinging jets:

 This project is also successfully completed under Prof. S.V. Prabhu (Mechanical Department – Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, India) as a part of summer internship program. The abstract of this paper selected in the National FMFP conference (Bangalore).
 

As a part of this project a submerged water jet is made to impinge on a plate kept at a fixed distance from the nozzle exit. Flow patterns are investigated to study the influence of inlet conditions for free and impinging jets. A smooth circular pipe of l/d ratio of 80 is chosen as a nozzle for the present study. Experiments are done for four different inlet conditions as follows

· Free jet with nozzle exit aligned with the test tank inlet (Free jet-orifice configuration)

· Free jet with nozzle exit protruding in the test tank for l/d = 13.7. (Free jet-Nozzle configuration)

· Impinging jet with z/d (ratio between plate and nozzle exit to the nozzle diameter) of  6 and 12.

Reynolds number is varied and the resulting flow patterns are recorded by a digital camera. Laminar length is measured and the nature of flow (laminar or turbulent) is characterized from digital images.
