DETERMINATION OF TEMPERATURE, VELOCITY, AND CONCENTRATION PROFILES IN THE MIXING LAYER BETWEEN A ROCKET EXHAUST JET AND THE SURROUNDING SUPERSONIC AIR STREAM. III. PROCEDURE FOR COMPUTATIONS AND PRELIMINARY RESULTS FOR A TYPICAL CASE

Abstract

In Section I, the method of obtaining the initial and boundary conditions for available inviscid jet flow solutions is discussed. Simple relations for the determination of the temperatures, velocities, Mach numbers, pressures, and pressure gradients are derived. In Section II the thermodynamic functions required in the calculations are discussed in detail. A program written in Fortran II that makes it possible to carry out the solution of the problem on an IBM-704 computer is described briefly. Finally, one typical case is considered and plots of velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are given for the initial stages of development of the mixing layer. (Author)
