The Impact

The present study addresses experimental investigations of the near-field flow structures of an underexpanded sonic, dual, coaxial, swirl jet. The swirl stream is discharged from the secondary annular nozzle and the primary inner nozzle provides the underexpanded free jets. The interactions between the secondary swirl and primary underexpanded jets are quantified by a fine pitot impact and static pressure measurements and are visualized using a shadowgraph optical method. The pressure ratios of the secondary swirl and primary underexpanded jets are varied below 7.0. Experiments are conducted to investigate the effects of the secondary swirl stream on the primary underexpanded jets, compared with the secondary stream of no swirl. The results show that the presence of an annular swirl stream causes the Mach disc to move further downstream, with an increased diameter, and remarkably reduces the fluctuations of the impact pressures in the underexpanded sonic dual coaxial jet, compared with the case of the secondary annular stream with no swirl.

Acoustic Treatment

The aerodynamic generated noise in the supersonic wind tunnel during operation at Ryerson University has exceeded the threshold of hearing damage. An acoustic silencer was to be designed and added to the wind tunnel to reduce the noise level. The main sources of noise generated from the wind tunnel with the silencer were identified to be located at the convergent divergent nozzle and the turbulent region downstream of the shock wave at the diffuser with the maximum acoustic power level of the entire wind tunnel at 161.09 dB. The designed silencer provided an overall sound pressure level reduction of 21.41 db which was considered as acceptable. Refinement to the mesh size and changes to the geometry of the mixing chamber was suggested for a more accurate result in noise output as well as flow conditions would match up to the physical flow. Additional acoustic treatment should be applied to the wind tunnel to further reduce sound pressure level since the noise level still exceeded the threshold of hearing loss.
