Reattachment of a Three-Dimensional, Incompressible Jet to an Adjacent Axisymmetric Inclined Surface

Abstract

A study was made of the fluid mechanics of a thrust reverser jet reattaching to an aircraft nozzle afterbody. The problem basically involves the Coanda effect flow of a three-dimensional, incompressible jet to an adjacent axisymmetric, inclined surface. The equations were derived in integral form and programmed for numerical solution for the case of an exhaust flow with no opposing free stream flow. Test data are reported for a scale model of a nozzle afterbody exhausting against a target-type thrust reverser. Data are presented for surface pressure coefficient at various points along the model.
