Abstract

ABSTRACT
In the present study, the effects of a directed co-flow on the process of Methane jet
have been investigated numerically. The directed co-flow preserves its axial symmetry
at the inlet and its direction varies between α=+20° and α= -20°. In addition, the k –ε
model is used to investigate effects of the variable density in axisymmetric turbulent jet.
The results obtained indicate that the directed co-flow with positive angles enhances
considerably the mixing.
