Fundamental Turbulence Mechanisms in Multi-Stream Flows: A Comprehensive Joint Experimental, Theoretical and Computational Study

Abstract

The objective of this effort is to address the following complex basic science problem arising in multi-stream Single Expansion Ramp Nozzles (SERN) of current interest to the USAF: 1) unsteady features associated with high Reynolds turbulent flows; 2) non-linear interactions of spatio-temporal scales associated with the rate of growth of instabilities and resultant coherent structures; 3) three-dimensionality of the mean flow; and 4) influence of weak adverse pressure gradients associated with shock cells on coherent structures and their breakdown.
