The Design And Optimization Of Jet-In-Cross-Flow (Jicf) For Engineering Applications: Thermal Uniformity In Gas-Turbines And Cavitation Treatment In Hydro-Turbines, Tarek Mahmoud Mohammed Elgammal

Theses and Dissertations

Jet-in-cross-flow (JICF) is a well-known term in thermal flows field. Ranging from the normal phenomenon like the volcano ash and dust plumes to the designed film cooling and air fuel mixing for combustion, JICF is always studied to understand its nature at different conditions. Realizing the behavior of interacting flows and importance of many variables lead to the process of reiterating the shapes and running conditions for better outcomes or minimizing the losses. Summarizing the process under the name of optimization, two JICF applications are analyzed based on the principles of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, then some redesigns are proposed …
