Fluid Dynamics of Multiple Nozzle Arrays and Radial Flow Diffusers

摘要

This report summarizes the theoretical and experimental research dealing with the fluid dynamical interactions in free shear layers and diffuser-ejectors. The objectives of this research were (a) to provide characterization of the fluid dynamical mixing layers typical of those in supersonic transfer lasers and in mixing gas dynamic lasers, and (b) to examine the mixing and induction characteristics of ejectors capable of providing pressure ratios typical of those associated with radial flow laser diffusers.
