Abstract

The present study is focused on the analysis of the statistical quantities (mean and rms quantities) of the dynamical field along the central axis of a twin-jets impingement against a flat and smooth surface without recirculation. The study is achieved using the RANS approach associated with the popular turbulence model (k − ε). The jet opening ratio is H/e = 10 and the ReyNolds Number Re = 14000. The results are compared to those of experimental measurements found in the literature. The model exhibits good agreement with the experimental data. Some discussions are performed.
