Flow structure and acoustics of supersonic jets from conical convergent-divergent nozzles

چکیده
Conical convergent-divergent (CCD) nozzles represent an important category of supersonic jet-engine nozzles which require variable throat areas and variable exit areas to adapt to a range of operating conditions. CCD nozzles with design Mach numbers of 1.3, 1.5, and 1.65 are examined experimentally over a range of fully expanded Mach numbers from 1.22 to 1.71. The characteristics of the flow and acoustic fields from these nozzles are explored. Shadowgraph, Particle Image Velocimetry, far-field and near-field acoustic surveys are presented. Results of a Monotonically Integrated Large Eddy Simulation are presented for the Mach 1.5 nozzle at an underexpanded condition. The agreement between simulations and measurements is excellent. It is shown that these nozzles differ from traditional smoothly contoured method-of-characteristics nozzles in that they never achieve a shock free condition. Furthermore it is shown that these nozzles produce a “double diamond” pattern in which two sets of shock diamonds are generated with an axial displacement between them. The cause of this phenomenon is explored. It is further shown that as a consequence they are never free from shock-associated noise even when operated at perfect expansion. In spite of this difference, it is found that CCD nozzles behave like traditional convergent-divergent nozzles in that they produce the same shock-cell size, broadband shock-associated noise peak frequency, and screech frequency as traditional convergent-divergent nozzles. The apparent source regions for mixing noise, broadband shock associated noise and screech are all similar to those from traditional convergent-divergent nozzles.

Prevailing high-speed air-breathing propulsion systems invariably banks on coaxial jets which plays a vigorous role in stabilization of flames and combustion emission. Coaxial jets have applications in supersonic ejectors, noise control techniques and enhancement of mixing. Coaxial jet nozzles regulate spreading rates by developing virtuous mean flow and shortening primary flow potential core l...
