An axisymmetric jet issued from a sharp edged circular convergent nozzle has been studied experimentally in the near field at Reynolds number 5.3x104  to search the saddle shape behavior of mean velocity and the role of mean static pressure in the jet flow. Due to the vena contracta effect the centerline mean velocity of the jet increases about 4.2% of its exit value and corresponding decrease ...

compressible gas flow inside a convergent-divergent nozzle and its exhaust plume atdifferent nozzle pressure ratios (npr) have been numerically studied with severalturbulence models. the numerical results reveal that, the sst k–ω model give the bestresults compared with other models in time and accuracy. the effect of changes in value ofdivergence half-angle (ε ) on the nozzle performance, thru...

The vortex dominated flows in the near field of jets from notched circular nozzles are investigated using direct numerical simulation. The nozzles studied include a normal circular nozzle, a V-shaped notched nozzle, and a...

We examine the effect of baseline nozzle shape on the ability of fan flow deflectors to reduce downward-emitted turbulent mixing noise of coaxial jets simulating the exhaust condition of a turbofan engine. Several deflector concepts were tested on a nozzle with parallel exit flow lines and a nozzle with convergent flow lines. In every comparison the nozzle with convergent flow lines produced su...

The paper deals with the flow of oil through an experimental hydraulic circuit a convergent divergent nozzle circular cross-section. Under different physical conditions, i.e. changes in pressure, and temperature, formation development cavitation is monitored. As it highly dynamic transparent nozzle, monitored using high-speed camera frequency dissolution bubble movement cloud then determined. a...

Natural gas flow contains undesirable solid particles, liquid condensation, and/or oil droplets and requires reliable removing equipment to perform filtration. Recent natural gas processing applications are demanded compactness and reliability of process equipment. Since conventional means are sophisticated in design, poor in efficiency, and continue lacking robust, a supersonic nozzle has been...

Current-free double layers can develop in a collisionless, inertia-controlled plasma with two electron populations, expanding in a convergent-divergent nozzle. The double layer characteristics depend on whether they develop at the nozzle divergent side, convergent side, or throat. The divergent-geometry double layer describes faithfully the Hairapetian-Stenzel experiment [Phys. Rev. Lett. 65, 1...

The objective of this paper is to computationally analyse shock waves in the Convergent Divergent (CD) Nozzle. The commercial CFD code Fluent is employed to analyse the compressible flow through the nozzle. The analysis includes static pressure, temperature, Mach number and density of the flow for different nozzle pressure ratios (NPR i.e., the ratio between exit pressure of the nozzle to ambie...

Exhaustion of a supersonic underexpanded air jet into air–helium and air–sulfur hexafluoride mixtures is studied experimentally. The escapes from convergent circular nozzle in the range moderate Reynolds numbers covering laminar transitional regimes flow. experiments are performed with “cold” heated jets low-pressure setup, which allows number exhaustion nozzle, pressure ratio, density gas surr...
