Abstract
The influence of co-flow on a turbulent binary gas mixing round jet is numerically studied using a first and a second order turbulence closure models. The objective of the study is to obtain a better understanding of the flow structure and mixing process in turbulent variable-density jets. Comparisons between recently published experimental results and mean mixture fraction, the scalar turbulent fluctuation, and the jet spreading rate, feature reasonably good agreements. It is mainly shown that the co-flow reduces the jet spreading rate, but on the otherhand increases the mixing efficiency.
