Numerical Simulation for Effects of Pressure on Cryogenic Coaxial Jet under Supercritical Pressure

摘要

Three-dimensional numerical simulations of coaxial nitrogen jet mixing under supercritical pressures are performed with an emphasis on the effects of pressure on the mixing. The results show that the overall mixing behaviors are similar in terms of normalized density profiles between 5 and 12 MPa. However, the normalized temperature profiles are different between two conditions because non-linear change of the density to the temperature near the critical point. The peak of the constant pressure specific heat is particularly observed in the case of 5 MPa. The density and temperature fluctuations become large between the inner jet flow and the outer jet flow. Although the density fluctuation distributions are similar between two cases, the larger fluctuation region of temperature is observed in the case of 5 MPa. This is because the temperature increases are different near the critical temperature between two pressure conditions.
