Acoustic Characteristics of Self-Sustained Oscillations Occurring due to the Interaction of a Supersonic Underexpanded Jet with a Cylindrical Cavity

摘要

In high-pressure gas-jet Hartmann generators, the source of acoustic energy is kinetic energy of a gas jet by the supercritical ratio between the operation and ambient pressure. Under certain conditions, onflow of a supersonic jet to a resonator is accompanied by powerful self-sustained oscillations with irradiation of acoustic waves into the environment and resonator cavity. A model of a self-oscillating process arising from the interaction of a nonisobaric jet with semi-closed cylindrical cavities is considered, which allows one to identify typical elements of the gas-dynamic structure of the forming flow. The physical pattern of the flow in the gas-jet generator has been discussed and the study of the dependence of the self-sustained oscillation characteristics on the key gas-dynamic and geometric parameters has been performed.
