Penetration Characteristics of Air, Carbon Dioxide and Helium Transverse Sonic Jets in Mach 5 Cross Flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
An experimental investigation of sonic air, CO2 and Helium transverse jets in Mach 5 cross flow was carried out over a flat plate. The jet to freestream momentum flux ratio, J, was kept the same for all gases. The unsteady flow topology was examined using high speed schlieren visualisation and PIV. Schlieren visualisation provided information regarding oscillating jet shear layer structures and bow shock, Mach disc and barrel shocks. Two-component PIV measurements at the centreline, provided information regarding jet penetration trajectories. Barrel shocks and Mach disc forming the jet boundary were visualised/quantified also jet penetration boundaries were determined. Even though J is kept the same for all gases, the penetration patterns were found to be remarkably different both at the nearfield and the farfield. Air and CO2 jet resulted similar nearfield and farfield penetration pattern whereas Helium jet spread minimal in the nearfield.

Shock-induced mixing of nonhomogeneous density turbulent jets
An experimental study of the mixing enhancement and changes in flow structure arising from the interaction of weak normal shock waves with turbulent jets was conducted. The experimental configuration was an axisymmetric jet processed by weak normal shock waves propagating in a shock tube along the jet axis. Experiments involved three different jet gases: helium, air, and carbon dioxide, each in...
متن کاملAcoustic Simulation of Coaxial Hot Air Jets Using Cold Helium–Air Mixture Jets
This work examines the ability of small-scale helium–air mixture coaxial jets to simulate the acoustics of largescale hot air jets representing the exhaust of separate-flow turbofan engines. Experiments employed a one-eighthscale model of a separate-flow nozzle used in hot tests at NASA John H. Glenn Research Center. Comparisons were conducted for two set points using the following methods: mat...
متن کاملLarge Eddy Simulation of Variable Density Turbulent Axisymmetric Jets
Three cases of variable-density turbulent round jets discharging from a straight circular pipe into a weakly confined low-speed co-flowing air stream are studied with the aid of large eddy simulation. The density ratios considered are 0.14 [He/air], 1.0 [air/air] and 1.5 [CO2/air], with Reynolds numbers of 7000, 21000 and 32000, respectively. Detailed comparisons of the statistics show good agr...
متن کاملNumerical modelling of particle-laden sonic CO 2 jets with experimental validation
The characteristics of the particle distribution, evolution and movement in a sonic jet release of carbon dioxide (CO2) from a high pressure reservoir are investigated. The motivation is to numerically model the sonic jet with particles,using the hitherto unknown initial particle distribution measured herein,and hence understand and numerically reproduce the experimentally observedparticle beha...
متن کاملImpact of density differences on turbulent round jets
Jets with different density than the fluid into which they are issued, constitute an important class of flows relevant for applications in technical and environmental situations. In this work three cases of variable-density turbulent round jets discharging from a straight circular pipe into a weakly confined low-speed co-flowing air stream are studied with the aid of large eddy simulation. The ...
