RANS/ILES Analysis of the Flow Pattern and the Acoustic Characteristics of a Supersonic Off-Design Jet at Large Nozzle Pressure Ratios

摘要

The outflow of a cold supersonic off-design jet with the nozzle pressure ratio of 21.8 is calculated using the high-resolution RANS/ILES method. For the nozzle under consideration and at the given nozzle pressure ratio the exit-to-ambient pressure ratio is 0.6. The jet is characterized by a long supersonic region with many barrels. The calculations are validated against the experimental data. The fluctuating and acoustic characteristics of the jet flow under consideration are compared with the characteristics of other supersonic jets. The geometric dimensions of the barrels and the acoustic properties of the jet are estimated from the known empirical relations for supersonic jets.
