Nonequilibrium Effects in Nozzles and Exhaust Plumes.

Abstract

Results of a study of nonequilibrium effects in jet and rocket nozzles and exhaust plumes are presented. The study considered turbulence modeling of axisymmetric compressible jets, particle laden jets and chemical nonequilibrium in axisymmetric jets. It was found that available turbulence models do not correlate a wide range of data for compressible jets. Studies of particle laden jets provided reasonable correlation to experimental data. The chemical nonequilibrium studies suggest a possible explanation for difference between observed and previously predicted radiation behavior of axisymmetric exhaust plumes. (Author)
