Outflow of an unexpanded jet into counter supersonic and subsonic flows

The article gives the results of an experimental investigation of the geometric structure of an opposing unexpanded jet. It discusses flow conditions with interaction between the jet and sub- and supersonic flows. It is shown that, with the outflow of an unexpanded jet counter to a supersonic flow, there are unstable flow conditions. For stable flow conditions with one roll, dependences are proposed determining the form of a jet in a supersonic opposing flow. A generalized dependence is obtained for the distribution of the pressure at the surface of a body with a jet, flowing out counter to a subsonic flow. The range of change in the determining parameters are the following: Mach numbers at outlet cross section of nozzle, M _a = 1 and 3; Mach numbers of opposing flow, M = 0.6–0.9 and 2.9; degree of effectiveness of jet, n = p _a /p = 0.5–800 (p _a and p are the static pressures at the outlet cross section of the nozzle and in the opposing flow); the ratios of the specific heat capacities, _a = = 1.4; the drag temperatures of the jet and the flow, T_o = T_oa = 290°K.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, pp. 89–96, January–February, 1977.     

Existence of supersonic zones in three-dimensional separation flows

Up till now the region of three-dimensional separation flows which occur with supersonic flow past obstacles has received insufficient study. Supersonic flow with a Mach number of 2.5 past a cylinder mounted on a plate was studied in [1]. A local zone with supersonic velocities was found in the reverse subsonic flow region ahead of the cylinder. Its presence is explained by the three-dimensional nature of the flow. Similar supersonic zones are not observed in the case of supersonic flow over plane and axisymmetric steps.The present paper presents the results of experimental studies whose objective was refinement of the flow pattern ahead of a cylinder on a plate and the study of the local supersonic zones.The experiments were performed in a supersonic wind tunnel with a freestream Mach number M₁=3.11. The 24-mm-diameter cylinder with pressure taps along the generating line was mounted perpendicular to the surface of a sharpened plate. The distance from the plate leading edge to the cylinder axis wasl ₀=140 mm. The plate was pressure tapped along the flow symmetry axis. The Reynolds number was Rl ₀=u₀ l ₀/v ₁, Rl ₀=1.87.10⁷, where u₁ andv ₁ are the freestream velocity and the kinematic viscosity, respectively. The pressures were measured using a Pilot probe with internal and external diameters of 0.15 and 0.9 mm, respectively.The probe was displaced in the flow symmetry plane at a distance of 1.6 mm from the plate surface and at a distance of 1.1 mm along the leading generator of the cylinder. The flow on the surface of the plate and cylinder was studied with the aid of a visualization composition and the flow past the model was photographed with a schlieren instrument. Typical patterns of the visualization composition distribution and the pressure distribution curves over the plate surface, and also photographs of the flow past the model, are shown in [1].     

Oscillatory behavior of supersonic impinging jet flows

Oscillatory flows of a choked underexpanded supersonic impinging jet issuing from a convergent nozzle have been computed using the axisymmetric unsteady Navier--Stokes system. This paper focuses on the oscillatory flow features associated with the variation of the nozzle-to-plate distance and nozzle pressure ratio. Frequencies of the surface pressure oscillation and flow structural changes from computational results have been analyzed. Staging behavior of the oscillation frequency has been observed for both cases of nozzle-to-plate distance variation and pressure ratio variation. However, the staging behavior for each case exhibits different features. These two distinct staging behaviors of the oscillation frequency are found to correlate well if the frequency and the distance are normalized by the length of the shock cell. It is further found that the staging behavior is strongly correlated with the change of the pressure wave pattern in the jet shear layer, but not with the shock cell structure. Communicated by K.

Flow investigation in separation zones ahead of supersonic jets in a subsonic stream

The flow in the three-dimensional separation zone of a turbulent boundary layer on a plate in front of a supersonic jet injected perpendicularly to the subsonic drifing flow is considered. The purpose of the investigation is to establish the physical singularities of subsonic flow around a supersonic jet obstacle and to obtain dependences of the geometric flow characteristics on the free-stream and injected-jet parameters. Results of an experimental investigation permitted proposing approximate dependences of the geometric three-dimensional separation-zone characteristics which appear in the subsonic stream ahead of a jet obstacle.

Small amplitude pressure wave in subsonic and supersonic bubble flows in convergent-divergent nozzles

This paper makes a theoretical analysis of the propagation phenomena of the small amplitude pressure wave in the subsonic and supersonic bubble flow with a velocity slip between bubble and liquid in the convergent-divergent nozzle. From an analysis of the time-mean flow, the nondimensional parameter $\text{m = {u}\text{2}\text{G}\text{·α(1 ? α)ρ}\text{l}\text{β(2 ? 1/S)/P·[αβS + (1 ? α)βS}{}^2\text{+ α(1 ? α)]}}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ corresponds to Mach number is gasdynamics where u_G is the gas velocity, α: the void fraction, ρ_L: the liquid density, P: the pressure, S: the velocity ratio of the gas and liquid flows and β: the proportional constant for the virtual mass. From a theoretical analysis of the small disturbance field, it is clarified that the parameter m also plays an essential and important role as Mach number, although the propagation performance of the disturbance is very complicated compared with that in gasdynamics. It is also shown that the pressure waves are divided into four groups depending on the velocity ratio S. Two of them are rather realistic, but the other two are required of a further investigation in future.     

Turbulent jet mixing of supersonic flows in profiled flow-equalization channels

A numerical model for the calculation of gas dynamic systems with turbulent mixing of supersonic jets is proposed. The problem of designing a transitional flow-equalization channel of minimum length is solved for the viscous turbulent mixing of two parallel or mutually inclined supersonic flows. The problem is solved in two stages. In the first stage the flow-equalization channel is designed by solving the inverse problem in the ideal gas approximation. In the second stage the basic problem is solved for the channel thus obtained on the basis of the parabolized Navier-Stokes equations. Investigations have demonstrated the validity of this approach to the equalization of nonuniform flows.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 175–178, July–August, 1987.The authors are grateful to V. I. Kopchenov for supplying the program for solving the basic problem by a first-order Godunov method and to A. I. Kraiko and Yu. V. Kurochkin for their interest and advice.

Pressure pulsations during interaction between a subsonic jet and the subsonic section of a supersonic jeton a flat obstacle

Pressure pulsations were measured during in-leakage of a subsonic jet and the subsonic section of a heated supersonic jet on a flat obstacle. Data have been obtained on the total and spectrum levels of the pressure pulsations at different spacings X of the obstacle from the nozzle exit. It is shown that when the obstacle is disposed at the section of the jet where the local velocity is subsonic, the pulsation levels outside the dependence on the conditions at the nozzle exit (Mach number Maxa 0 a 3.0; stagnation temperature T₀=280–1200K) vary in direct proportion to the local velocity head q. The ratio between the total level and q is (/g)=0.2–0.3. It is established that for a subsonic velocity ahead of the obstacle, all the spectra obtained for different values of M _a , T₀, d _a and X in the coordinates Sh=f(d/V) and (₁*/q)(V/d) will lie on a single generalized spectrum. Here ₁* is the pulsation level in a 1-Hz band, and d and V are, respectively, the jet diameter and velocity directly in front of the obstacle.Translated from Izvestiya Akademiya Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 5, pp. 172–174, September–October, 1975.     

Study of heat transfer in the separation zones formed in front of supersonic jets in a subsonic carrier flow

The heat transfer taking place between the gas and the surface of the plate in the zone of three-dimensional separation of the turbulent boundary layer in front of a set of supersonic jets injected perpendicularly to a subsonic carrier flow is considered. The aim of this investigation is to establish the main physical characteristics of heat transfer in the separation zones in front of jet obstacles and to obtain the distributions of the local heat-transfer coefficients and the temperature of the thermally insulating wall as functions of the parameters of the carrier flow and the injected jets. Analysis of the experimental results yields certain approximating relationships for the distribution of the local heat-transfer coefficients as functions of the Mach number of the carrier flow M, the Mach number of the jet M_j, the relative boundary-layer displacement thickness _s= _s ^* /d, and the degree of jet superheating T_ojT_o relative to the separation zones in front of supersonic jet obstacles.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 68–72, July–August, 1975.     

Stability of subsonic gasdynamic flows

A system of differential equations describing small perturbations of the steady flow of a non-viscous ideal gas in a channel of variable cross section is analyzed in this paper. The equations of nonsteady flow and the boundary conditions are linearized, and the solution of the linearized equations is sought in the form v(x)expt t, where v(x) is an eigenfunction while is the natural frequency for the boundary problem being studied. With such an approach the problem is reduced to finding the solutions to ordinary differential equations with variable coefficients which depend on the parameter . Analytical solutions of this system are obtained for small values of and for values of ¦¦1. The results can be used to calculate the growth of high-frequency and low-frequency perturbations imposed on subsonic, supersonic, and mixed (i.e., with transitions through the velocity of sound) gasdynamic flows, to analyze the stability of subsonic sections, and to verify and supplement various numerical methods for calculating unsteady flows and numerical methods for studying stability in gasdynamics. The application of the solutions found for small and large is demonstrated on a study of flow stability behind a shock wave (a direct compression shock in the present formulation). Analytical expressions are obtained for the determination of from which it follows that the flow stability behind a shock essentially depends on the shape of the channel at the place where the shock is located in the steady flow, which was noted earlier in [1], and on the conditions of the reflection of small perturbations in the exit cross section of the channel, which was first pointed out in [2].Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, pp. 90–97, January–February, 1978.In conclusion, the author thanks A.

Shocks in local supersonic zones

The results of numerical integration of the Euler equations governing two-dimensional and axisymmetric flows of an ideal (inviscid and non-heat-conducting) gas with local supersonic zones are presented. The subject of the study is the formation of shocks closing local supersonic zones. The flow in the vicinity of the initial point of the closing shock is calculated on embedded, successively refined grids with an accuracy much greater than that previously achieved. The calculations performed, together with the analysis of certain controversial issues, leave no doubt that it is the intersection of C ^?-characteristics proceeding from the sonic line inside the supersonic zone that is responsible for the closing shock formation.     

Wake development in turbulent subsonic axisymmetric flows

The development of the wake velocity and turbulence profiles behind a cylindrical blunt based body aligned with a subsonic uniform stream was experimentally investigated as a function of the momentum thickness of the approaching boundary layer and the transfer of mass into the recirculating region. Measurements were made just outside of the recirculating region at distances of 1.5, 2 and 3 diameters downstream of the cylinder. Results indicate that, even at these short distances from the cylinder base, the velocity profiles are similar. They also show that the width of the wake increases with the thickness of the boundary layer while the velocity at the centerline decreases. Near wake mass transfer was found to alter centerline velocities while the width of the wake was not significantly altered. Wake centerline velocity development as a function of boundary layer thickness is presented for distances up to three diameters from the base.

Doubly spiraled supersonic jet

The instability of supersonic underexpanded submerged air jet outflow from a nozzle with a central cone in the form of two convergent interlaced spirals is described. A technique for controlling this structure by means of extending the central cone streamwise is proposed. It is shown that the central cone position makes it possible to control the gas outflow and to go over from the Mach reflection regime to the regime of wave spiral and gaseous phase condensation, which before were not observable. The results of the measurements of the dynamic head of jets issuing from the nozzle with and without the central cone are presented.
