generator and variable exit orifices was experimentally investigated. Using magnetic
resonance velocimetry (MRV) three-dimensional, three-component velocity fields were
measured for two different Reynolds numbers: 10,000 and 15,000, and for three different exit
orifices. The swirl generator had a fixed geometry producing an initial swirl number of 1.6 for
all cases. One major observation is the occurrence of a three-layered flow structure. An …
