Abstract We have performed numerical studies on unsteady flow characteristics of a round turbulent jet discharging normally into a crossflow. Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations were solved with the standard k-ε turbulence model. A viscous flow past a circular cylinder and Taylor problem in which an analytical solution is available were used to validate the unsteady numerical scheme. The unsteady calculations of the jet-in-crossflow reproduced the flow structures including the periodically oscillating wake structures, the jet shear-layer vortices, and the counter-rotating vortex pairs. The time-averaged prediction of velocity fields derived from the unsteady solution was fairly improved. Characteristic oscillating frequencies, namely Strouhal numbers under various jet diameters and crossflow velocities, were accurately predicted.

Background: Postural tone alterations are expressions of myofascial and, therefore, of structural, visceral, and emotional disorders. To prevent these disorders, this study proposes a quantitative investigation method which administers a postural evaluation questionnaire and a postural biomechanical evaluation to 100 healthy subjects. Methods: The reliability of the method is studied by comparing both assessments with digitized biometrics. In addition, 50 subjects undergo the biomechanical evaluation form twice, by four different operators, to study the intraoperative repeatability. Results: The results show a satisfactory overlap between the results obtained with the postural evaluation questionnaire and the postural biomechanical evaluation compared to computerized biometrics. Furthermore, intraoperative repeatability in the use of the biomechanical evaluation form is demonstrated thanks to a minimal margin of error. Conclusions: This experience suggests the importance of undertaking this path in both the curative and the preventive sphere on a large scale and on different types of people who easily, and even unknowingly, may face dysfunctional syndromes, not only structural and myofascial but also consequently of the entire body’s homeostasis.
