LES–RANS of Installed Ultra-High-Bypass-Ratio Coaxial Jet Aeroacoustics with Flight Stream

Aeroacoustics of Three-Stream High-Speed Jets from Coaxial and Asymmetric Nozzles

The development of three-stream variable-cycle turbofan engines for tactical aircraft provides an opportunity for noise reduction by shaping the exhaust of the secondary and tertiary streams. The paper reviews an experimental study of subscale three-stream jets operating at high specific thrust and issuing from rapid-prototyped nozzles. Exhaust conditions at four set points, with variable terti...

Ultra-High Throughput Synthesis of Nanoparticles with Homogeneous Size Distribution Using a Coaxial Turbulent Jet Mixer

High-throughput production of nanoparticles (NPs) with controlled quality is critical for their clinical translation into effective nanomedicines for diagnostics and therapeutics. Here we report a simple and versatile coaxial turbulent jet mixer that can synthesize a variety of NPs at high throughput up to 3 kg/d, while maintaining the advantages of homogeneity, reproducibility, and tunability ...

Experimental Studies of Inverted - Profile Coaxial Jet Flows

Turbofan Jet Noise Reduction via Deflection of the Bypass Stream

We describe a parametric experimental study of noise reduction via de ection of the secondary stream in dual-stream jets. The jets simulated the exhaust of turbofan engines with bypass ratios 4.5 and 6.0. The secondary (bypass) stream was de ected downward by means of vanes installed inside the bypass duct. Variables included the number of vanes, vane angle of attack, azimuthal placement, and a...

Jet-Pylon Interaction of High Bypass Ratio Separate Flow Nozzle Configurations

An experimental investigation was performed of the acoustic effects of jet-pylon interaction for separate flow and chevron nozzles of both bypass ratio five and eight. The models corresponded to an approximate scale factor of nine. Cycle conditions from approach to takeoff were tested at wind tunnel free jet Mach numbers of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.28. An eight-chevron core nozzle, a sixteen chevron fan ...
