Interaction between an upstream facing wall jet and a supersonic stream

摘要

The flow field resulting from the interaction of an upstream facing wall jet with a supersonic counterflowing stream has been investigated. A flow field model and the main parameters governing the phenomena were determined from quantitative and qualitative experimental observations. Experimental results for different ranges of the main parameters are presented. A theoretical analysis was performed to describe the flow field in the mixing region between the two counterflowing streams. The results obtained by applying a locally similar solution compare favorably with the experimentally measured values. Large values of jet penetration were obtained with a high subsonic or low supersonic jet; large interaction forces are characteristics of higher supersonic injections. For the case of large penetration the cooling effectiveness presented as a function of the main parameters indicates the possibility of interacting cooling applications.
