Methods and apparatus to model thermal mixing for prediction of multi-stream flows

摘要

Methods and apparatus to model thermal mixing for prediction of multi-stream flows are described. An example method includes determining characteristics of a nozzle of an aircraft; estimating momentum diffusion due to turbulence associated with the nozzle based on the determined characteristics; and estimating thermal diffusion due to the turbulence associated with the nozzle based on the estimated momentum diffusion, wherein the estimating of the thermal diffusion due to the turbulence is based on a spatially varying turbulent Prandtl number.
