โฆ Synopsis
A well-resolved numerical simulation of a Mach 0.5 jet exiting from a rectangular shaped nozzle with an aspect ratio of 5 into a quiescent ambient was performed at a Reynolds number of 2000 based on the narrow side of the nozzle. The transition process was triggered by the most unstable symmetric linear eigenmode of a parallel laminar jet profile at the nozzle exit. We observe a shearlayer roll-up for the laminar jet and subsequently a very rapid transition to small-scale turbulence. The asymmetry of the velocity profile with respect to the jet axis leads to a rapid spreading of the jet along its minor axis within the so-called characteristic region as expected from experimental observations for similar configurations.

Jet noise and jet-induced structural loads have become key issues in the design of commercial and military aircraft. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) can be of use in predicting the underlying jet shear-layer instabilities and, in conjunction with classical acoustic theory, jet noise. The computat
In transitional and turbulent high speed boundary-layer flows the wall thermal boundary conditions play an important role and in many cases an assumption of a constant temperature or a specified heat flux may not be appropriate for numerical simulations.
