Abstract: | The presence of circulation in an outflowing gas leads to a change in the working parameters of a nozzle. The question of the mass flow rate and the draft of a nozzle without a diffusor (a point) for twisted flows has been studied theoretically and experimentally 1–6]. The use of nozzles with a supersonic part introduces a considerable degree of complication into the method for the analytical calculation of the draft characteristics and the program for their experimental investigation. In 2, 7], a theory of a nozzle is formulated for a model of a potential circulating flow of gas; in 5, 8], an electronic computer was used to solve the complete system of the equations of gasdynamics for the motion of a rotating flow along a nozzle; in 7, 9], an investigation was made of a variational problem of the shaping of a diffusor for a circulation flow. The calculation of the draft, carried out in the above-mentioned communications (with the exception of 2], in which a study was made of a partial model of an eddyless rotational motion), is bound up with labor-consuming computer calculations. In the present article, in a development of 3, 6], a quasi-one-dimensional theory of a supersonic nozzle for a vortical flow of gas is formulated and verified experimentally.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 5, pp. 145–149, September–October, 1975. |
