| Abstract: | A study is made of the interaction of a circular supersonic jet with a turbulent layer of the near-wake kind formed behind a circular step on the end part of a nozzle with abrupt expansion. The flow in the viscous layer is calculated by the integral method, and in the inviscid flow by a through-computation method using a monotonic implicit difference scheme of first order of accuracy. The interaction between the inviscid and turbulent flows is determined by the displacement thickness of the viscous layer. The initial conditions for the flow in the layer are determined from the integral conditions of its matching to the isobaric mixing flow in the base region behind the step. The computed interaction flows are determined as a function of the length of the end part and the counter pressure simultaneously or separately by the boundary condition that the pressure at the end of the end part be equal to the pressure of the external medium and by a singular solution of the equations passing through a saddle singular point — the throat of the wake. In a conical nozzle with profiled attachments of different lengths, calculations were made of separation flows with open and closed base regions and with allowance for secondary separation. The obtained solutions are multivalued in a certain range of lengths of the end part and values of the counter pressure. The solutions realized in reality are selected by analyzing the regimes of operation of the nozzles, and the calculated regions of hysteresis and associated low-frequency nonstationary separation flows are determined.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 120–128, July–August, 1979.We are grateful to M.
