AN EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF TURBULENT RECIRCULATING FLOW IN A CAVITY WITH AN INLET WALL JET

Recirculating turbulent flow within a cavity with an inlet wall jet was examined. In steady water flow profiles were constructed with measurements taken with a Laser Dopplcr Anemometer system mounted on a traversing mechanism for two different inlet velocities. The results are presented in terms of mean velocities and turbulent kinetic energy distributions. Comparisons are then made with results obtained using a finite difference computational …
