The present study aims to use the concept of entropy generation in order to study numerically the flow and the interaction of multiple jets. Several configurations of a single jet surrounded by equidistant 3, 5, 7 and 9 circumferential jets have been studied. The turbulent incompressible Navier-Stokes equations have been solved numerically using the commercial computational fluid dynamics code Fluent. The standard k-ε model has been selected to assess the eddy viscosity. The domain has been reduced to a quarter of the geometry due to symmetry. Results for axial and radial velocities have been compared with experimental measurements from the literature. Furthermore, additional results involving entropy generation rate have been presented and discussed.
