Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experimental investigations were carried out in both non-swirling and swirling jets at a Re = 105. A stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (SPIV) system was used to acquire the measurements in both axial-radial and radial-tangential planes at x/D = (1-10). Multiple test cases were taken where both the swirl magnitude and swirl distribution was adjusted. Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) was then applied to the measurements to characterize turbulence structure. The results indicate that swirl causes the structure to be more ordered and shifts the relative amount of energy from axisymmetric structure to azimuthal structure.
