An experimental investigation regarding interacting shear layers in a coaxial jet geometry has been performed. The present paper confirms experimentally the theoretical result by Talamelli and Gavarini (2006), who proposed that the wake behind the separation wall between the two stream of a coaxial jet creates the condition for an absolute instability. This instability, by means of the induced vortex shedding, may provide a continuous forcing mechanism for the control of the flow field. The potential of this passive mechanism as an easy, effective and practical way to control the near-field of interacting shear layers has been demonstrated.

Abstract
An experimental investigation regarding interacting shear layers in a coaxial jet geometry has been performed. The present paper confirms experimentally the theoretical result by Talamelli and Gavarini (2006), who proposed that the wake behind the separation wall between the two stream of a coaxial jet creates the condition for an absolute instability. This instability, by means of the induced vortex shedding, may provide a continuous forcing mechanism for the control of the flow field. The potential of this passive mechanism as an easy, effective and practical way to control the near-field of interacting shear layers has been demonstrated.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
