Three Dimensional Laser Doppler Velocimeter Measurements of the Velocity Distribution in a Supersonic Jet Mixing with a Subsonic Outer Flow.
Abstract
Three-dimensional laser doppler velocimeter measurements were made of the velocity distribution in a supersonic inner jet mixing with a subsonic outer flow. Experimental data for mean flow velocities (u,v,w), turbulent intensities ((u') squared, (v') squared, (w') squared), and turbulent velocity correlations (u'v', u'w', v'w) are presented for both hot and cold exhaust plumes produced by a small kerosene/gaseous oxygen rocket engine operating at nominal chamber pressures of 50 and 150 psig. The outer flow was maintained at 200 ft/sec. Velocity profiles were obtained in the radial direction at various axial locations (X/D sub E=2.4, 4.8, 8.4, 11.3, and 14.2). The velocity profile along the centerline of the jet was obtained for the cold flows and showed the presence of shock waves at various axial locations. (Author)
