A subtle change in the nozzle shape of the outer stream causes the flow to mix more vigorously.  This phenomenon is exploited to enhance mixing in a variety of applications

The phenomenon exemplified by these images involves axial injection of a gas at special conditions that lead to:

  • Enhanced mixing of the gas itself.   This is called Jet Self Excitation (JSE).  See an example.

  • Enhanced mixing of an arbitrary flow (gas or liquid) adjacent to or surrounded by the unstable gas.  This is called  Mixing Enhancement via Secondary Parallel Injection  (MESPI).   See an example.
