Velocity and temperature decay characteristics of inverted-profile jets

In order to design efficient, lightweight flap systems for future engine under-the-wing STOL aircraft, the velocity and temperature decay rate of the jet plume must be increased relative to that for single-stream nozzles in order to provide local flap loads and structural temperatures within acceptable limits. The jet plume decay rate of dual flow engines can be increased by resorting to inverted-profile velocity and temperature nozzle concepts. The peak axial decay characteristics of model-scale, two-stream inverted-profile nozzle flows are empirically correlated. Also discussed are the radial and spreading characteristics of inverted-profile nozzle flows.

Velocity and temperature characteristics of two-stream, coplanar jet exhaust plumes

The subsonic jet exhaust velocity and temperature characteristics of model scale, two stream coplanar nozzles were obtained experimentally. The data obtained included the effects of fan to primary stream velocity and temperature ratios on the jet axial and radial flow characteristics. Empirical parameters were developed to correlate the measured data. The resultant equations were shown to be extensions of a previously published single stream jet velocity and temperature correlation.

Effect of temperature on surface noise

An experimental work is discussed whose objective was to obtain data that show the effect of temperature and temperature fluctuations on surface noise. This was accomplished experimentally by immersing a small chord airfoil in the turbulent airstream of a hot jet. The theory and experiment reported by Olsen (1976) provided a guide for designing and validating the hot jet experiment and for interpreting the data. It is shown that increased temperature causes a small decrease in the sound levels; at the same time it causes a shift in the spectra that is smaller but similar to the shift observed with subsonic hot jet noise.
