Plug Nozzles

Two-dimensional, free, turbulent mixing between a uniform stream and a cavity flow is investigated experimentally in a plug nozzle, a geometry that generates idealized mixing layer conditions. Upstream viscous layer effects are minimized through the use of a sharp-expansion plug nozzle. Experimental velocity profiles exhibit close agreement with both similarity analyses and with error function predictions. Refrigerant-12 was injected into the cavity and concentration profiles were obtained using a gas chromatograph. Spreading factors for momentum and mass were determined. Two methods are presented to determine the average turbulent Schmidt number. The relation Sct = Sc is suggested by the data for Sc < 2.0.

Abstract Experiments have been performed investigating the effectiveness of steady tangential blowing, with the blowing slot located downstream of separation (but inside the separation bubble) to control a trailing-edge separated flow at low speeds. Trailing-edge separation was induced on a two-dimensional aerofoil-like body and the shear layer closure occurred in the near-wake. Measurements made consisted of model surface pressures and mean velocity, turbulent shear stress and kinetic energy profiles in the separated zone using a two-component LDV system. It is explicitly demonstrated that the novel concept of tangential blowing inside the bubble can be an effective means of control for trailing-edge separated flows as well. Blowing mass and momentum requirements for the suppression of wall and wake flow reversals have been estimated.
