Analysis of Curved Target-Type Thrust Reversers.

摘要

The reverse-thrust performance of two-dimensional and axisymmetric curved deflectors, symmetrically situated with respect to the impinging jet, is analyzed through the use of Levi-Civita's method, Belotserkovsky's integral method, and the finite element method. The predicted results are shown to be in reasonable agreement with the available experimental data. The real-fluid effects such as Coanda effect, entrainment, and the pressure ratio are discessed in the light of the present inviscid flow analyses. (Author)
