A three dimensional, viscous computer code was used to calculate the mixing downstream of a typical turbofan mixer geometry. Experimental data obtained using pressure and temperature rakes at the lobe and nozzle exit stations were used to validate the computer results. The relative importance of turbulence in the mixing phenomenon as compared with the streamwise vorticity set up by the secondary flows was determined. The observations suggest that the generation of streamwise vorticity plays a significant role in determining the temperature distribution at the nozzle exit plane.
