Abstract
Numerical simulation of two-dimensional transverse water jet into subsonic air stream is presented in this study. Two-dimensional Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes equations along with the standard k-ε turbulence model are used to model this problem using a software, FLUENT. Results include deformation of the boundaries of the water jet and flow fields for both water and air. It is found that jet break-up length and the penetration height increase with an increase in the water to air momentum ratio. However, the free-stream Mach number affects these parameters only marginally. In addition, distribution of water to air mass ratio indicates there is a decrease in mass of water as the liquid jet propagates downstream.
