Numerical Study of Cryogenic Hydrogen Jet in Crossflow under Supercritical Pressure: Comparison of Tandem and Twin Jets

抄録

The present study numerically investigates the flow fields of the twin- and tandem-jet in crossflow (JIC) under supercritical pressure. An ILES/RANS method is applied. In the present JIC, cryogenic hydrogen jets are vertically injected to warm temperature hydrogen crossflow through circular injector holes. The results show that the penetration of cryogenic jets into the crossflow is more enhanced with the tandem-jet than with the twin-jet. The higher jet penetration with the tandem jets is caused by a downstream jet behavior less influenced by the crossflow. Nevertheless, a mixedness analysis indicates that the mixing state at a downstream position is almost similar between the tandem and twin jets.
