Abstract
Abstract Effect of free boundary on the flow field characteristics of a single expansion nozzle has been studied experimentally and computationally. The single expansion nozzles studied in this investigation are a convergent-divergent nozzle of rectangular cross-section with convergent-divergent wall on one side and a flat wall on the opposite side, and an identical convergent-divergent ramp with its top open to atmosphere. The studies have been carried out at nozzle pressure ratios 2, 3, 4 and 5. The results show that the single expansion nozzle with wall boundary is able to deliver the flow with Mach number around 1.5, at nozzle pressure ratios of 4 and 5 even with the single expansion. The nozzle with free boundary, the wall static pressure is appreciably lower than that of nozzle with closed boundary and the exit Mach number is 1.5 for NPR 4 and 1.75 for NPR 5. That is, at the exit, the single expansion nozzle with free boundary delivers higher Mach number compared to single expansion nozzle with wall boundary for NPR 5.
期刊介绍:
The Main aim and scope of this Journal is to help improve each separate components R&D and superimpose separated results to get integrated systems by striving to reach the overall advanced design and benefits by integrating: (a) Physics, Aero, and Stealth Thermodynamics in simulations by flying unmanned or manned prototypes supported by integrated Computer Simulations based on: (b) Component R&D of: (i) Turbo and Jet-Engines, (ii) Airframe, (iii) Helmet-Aiming-Systems and Ammunition based on: (c) Anticipated New Programs Missions based on (d) IMPROVED RELIABILITY, DURABILITY, ECONOMICS, TACTICS, STRATEGIES and EDUCATION in both the civil and military domains of Turbo and Jet Engines.
The International Journal of Turbo & Jet Engines is devoted to cutting edge research in theory and design of propagation of jet aircraft. It serves as an international publication organ for new ideas, insights and results from industry and academic research on thermodynamics, combustion, behavior of related materials at high temperatures, turbine and engine design, thrust vectoring and flight control as well as energy and environmental issues.
