| 内容記述 | A two-phase experimental investigation designed to study the development of shear layers in axisymmetric and two-dimensional single-nozzle ejectors has been completed. In this study, combinations of similar and dissimilar gases were used as the supersonic primary and subsonic secondary. Test cases included combinations of air/air, argon/air and helium/air as the supersonic primary and subsonic secondary, respectively. Similar flow conditions were studied for each ejector configuration. Mixing of the gases occurred in a constant-area tube, where the inlet pressure was maintained at 34.5 kPa. The cases studied resulted in convective Mach numbers that range between 0.06 and 1.9. The data gathered shows differences between the initial shear-layer development for the two ejector geometries, and also between the different test cases studied for each ejector configuration. The measured growth rates for the axisymmetric ejector are more than twice those measured for the two-dimensional ejector. However, in both cases the results show that compressibility has a reducing effect on the growth rate. Further, in the region immediately after the inlet to the mixing tube, compressibility seems to affect the ejector shear layers in a manner similar to that of two-stream two-dimensional mixing layers. |
