Experimental investigation of the mixing between hot and cold gas in two cooling processes
The mixing between a hot turbulent flow and a cold fluid, injected through a porous plate or using a discrete injection, is experimentally investigated. The blowing is shown to dramatically modify the dynamic and thermal fields, whereas the discrete injection has a weaker effect. The influence on the average quantities and fluctuating parts are found to be different. The effect of the main flow temperature is addressed and a discussion for the mixing in the blowing and discrete injection cases is proposed.
