An Overview of Supersonic Ejector Performance Analyses

Abstract

Three general approaches are available for the analysis of supersonic ejector performance. In order of complexity, they are: (1) one-dimensional flow models, (2) combined one- and two-dimensional interactive flow models with a superimposed viscous mixing component, and (3) application of finite-difference approximation of the Navier-Stokes equations to the overall flowfield within the ejector. The objectives of this presentation will be to provide a brief overview of each of the methods for predicting supersonic ejector performance, to outline the significant features and advantages/disadvantages of each method, and to suggest possible future directions for consideration.
