摘      要：Direct numerical simulation of coherent structures in the three-dimensional transitional jet with a moderate Reynolds number of 5000 was conducted. The finite volume method was used to discretize the governing equations in space; the low-storage, three-order Runge-Kutta scheme was used for time integration. The comparisons between the statistical results of the flow field; the related experimental data were performed to validate the reliability of the present numerical schemes. The emphasis was placed on the study of the spatial evolution of the three-dimensional coherent vortex structures as well as their interactions. It is found that the evolution of the spanwise vortex structures in three-dimensional space is similar to that in two-dimensional jet. The spanwise vortex structures are subject to three-dimensional instability; induce the formation of the streamwise; lateral vortex structures. Going with the breakup; mixing of the spanwise vortex structures, the streamwise; transverse vortex tubes also fall to pieces; the mixing arranged small-scale structures are formed in the flow field. Finally, the arrangement relationship among the spanwise, the streamwise; the lateral vortex structures was analyzed; their interactions were also discussed.
