A quasi one-dimensional analysis of a STOVL aircraft nozzle in hover is performed to estimate the gross thrust coefficient as a function of nozzle pressure and nozzle area ratios. The analysis is supported by subscale, cold flow test results. The nozzle performance was found to be less than desirable in hover due to the overexpansion arising from the geometrical constraints of the existing nozzle.

In this work, we try to find the best setting of Computational Fluid Dynamic solver available for the problems in the field of supersonic internal flows. We used the supersonic air-toair ejector to represent the typical problem in focus. There are multiple oblique shock waves, shear layers, boundary layers and normal shock interacting in the supersonic ejector making this device typical in fiel...

Ejectors are devices usually made of two convergent-divergent coaxial nozzles which are used to convert pressure energy into kinetic energy. These devices involve very complex phenomena which strongly affect their performance. Flow visualization methods are often used to provide precious information as for the nature of the flow within the ejectors and the comprehension of the physical phenomen...

Abstract We have carried out numerical simulation of the flow in jet mill ejector. The features ejector are an annular unit for supplying additional gas form a confuser section at inlet to accelerating tube, as well outlet tube. In course study, we varied length and angle supply. established optimal parameters ejector, which it has been most uniform distribution velocity use scheme under study ...

The airframe-integrated linear-spike nozzle concept applied to an external nozzle for high-speed aircraft was evaluated with regard to the thrust augmentation capability and the trim balance. The main focus was on the vehicle aftbody. The baseline airframe geometry was first premised to be a hypersonic waverider design. The baseline aftbody case had an external nozzle comprised of a simple dive...

Ejectors are passive mixing devices that might operate in time-varying conditions, e.g., at start-up or during transients. Nevertheless, modeling efforts literature have mostly been focused on steady conditions. In this work, we propose a novel 1D unsteady model for supersonic single-phase ejectors based pipeline analogy with two inlets and one outlet. Conservation of mass, momentum energy is i...

A multiaxis thrust-vectoring nozzle designed to have equal ow-turning capability in pitch and yaw was conceived and experimentally tested for internal static performance at Langley Research Center. The cruciform-shaped, convergent-divergent nozzle turned the ow for thrust vectoring by deeecting the divergent surfaces of the nozzle, called aps. Methods for eliminating physical interference betwe...

Abstract:-The FSAE guidelines state that it is mandatory for each and every car participating in the said event to have a single circular 20mm restrictor in the intake system. All the air flowing to the engine must pass through this restrictor. Conventionally, a Venturi Nozzle is used as a restrictor. In our research, we have proposed two Nozzles: De-Laval Nozzle and Bell Nozzle as an alternati...
