Abstract
A curved wall jet before the interaction of two identical curved wall jets over a circular cylinder was investigated experimentally. Using hot-wire anemometry, the mean velocity, Reynolds stresses, and high order moments of the fluctuating velocity were measured. The turbulent kinetic energy and shear stress budgets were evaluated using the measured data. The correlation coefficient,\({{\overline {uv} } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\overline {uv} } {u'v'}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {u'v'}}\), the normal stress ratio,\({{\overline {v^2 } } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\overline {v^2 } } {\overline {u^2 } }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\overline {u^2 } }}\), and the principal direction of the Reynolds stress are presented. The effects of curvature and adverse pressure gradient on these diistributions are also discurssed. The turbulent kinetic energy and shear stress budgets in two regions before the interaction are analyzed in detail to illuminate the effect of the adverse pressure gradient on the turbulent transport.
