Experimental study of vortex diffusers.

Author(s) : SHAKERIN S., MILLER P. L.

Summary

The paper presents the results of experimental research performed to study the flow characteristics of isothermal jets issuing from vortex diffusers and to compare the vortex diffuser's performance with that of a conventional diffuser. For each diffuser, measurements were performed to obtain a velocity map, velocity profile, and velocity decay at three different flow rates. Overall, it was found that the vortex diffusers produce slightly more induction (mixing) of ambient air in comparison to the conventional diffuser.
