Effect of Hydraulic Diameter on Potential Core Decay of Supersonic Jets

Various studies dealing with decay characteristics of circular and noncircular supersonic jets were conducted by previous researchers. But in these studies due emphasis was not given to the hydraulic diameter (Dh), shape factor (ζ) & the nozzle lip parameters which have significant impact on the...

description Various studies dealing with decay characteristics of circular and noncircular supersonic jets were conducted by previous researchers. But in these studies due emphasis was not given to the hydraulic diameter (Dh), shape factor (ζ) & the nozzle lip parameters which have significant impact on the characteristics of noncircular supersonic jet. In this study, it has been shown that these parameters played a significant role on supersonic core decay characteristics [2, 3, 6] of the jet. The scope of this study included supersonic core length (Lc), decay pattern, due to noncircular shaped nozzle. In the literature, the supersonic jet characterization and the related experimental correlation are available for optimum expansion conditions whereas for other expansion (under and over) conditions the experimental correlation is barely available. While investigating experimentally, new empirical relations were obtained which were the improved forms of earlier correlations for supersonic core length [4]. For experiments, six different types of nozzles (circular, hexagon, square, triangular, elliptical and rectangular) with the same exit to throat area ratio, convergent length and divergent length were used. The results obtained from the experimentally developed correlations were coherent with numerical results, experimental data and flow visualization.
