The influence of temporal square-wave excitation on structural and mixing characteristics of an equidensity, gaseous jet in crossflow (JICF) was explored in the present study. As in separate unforced and sinusoidally excited JICF experiments, acetone planar laser-induced fluorescence imaging enabled this detailed quantification for the JICF for mean jet-to-crossflow momentum flux ratios J ranging from J = 41 (with a convective unstable upstream shear layer, or USL, in the absence of forcing) to J = 5 (with a globally unstable USL). Such square-wave excitation of the jet fluid required adaptive feedforward control, not only to create more accurate temporal square waveforms but to enable more accurate comparison among alternative forcing conditions. Square-wave excitation of the JICF demonstrated a significant influence on the naturally globally unstable JICF, where specific nondimensional stroke ratios within J -dependent ranges could produce deeply penetrating, periodic vortices with improved jet penetration and spread. Enhanced jet penetration did not always correlate with better molecular mixing, however; there was a stronger correlation of improved mixing at higher J values with creation of a more symmetric jet cross section via square-wave excitation, especially one with a clear counter-rotating vortex pair structure.
