Abstract

Experiments to study the behaviour of a compressible free jet issuing from an axisymmetric convergent nozzle are reported. Detailed measurements of the mean flow field for subsonic, sonic and underexpanded sonic jets was made within the pressure ratio range of 1.13 to 4. The results show that the spread and decay rates of the jet vary significantly with pressure ratio. The results further indicate the radial velocity/total pressure collapse within the two-dimensional shear layer data. The underexpanded jet propagates to a greater distance downstream than the low speed jets; this leads to enhancement of the far field mixing.
