Experimental studies show that swirl has large-scale effects on flowfields: jet growth, entrainment and decay (for isothermal flows) and flame size, shape, stability and combustion intensity (for combustion flows) are affected by the degree of swirl imparted to the flow. This degree of swirl is usua...
