Abstract

The interaction of a 3D supersonic turbulent gas flow with a transverse sonic jet injected from the wall has been studied in detail both numerically and experimentally. However, the main drawback of such studies is the lack of detailed description of formation and propagation of vortex structures for moderate and large parameters n (ratio of pressure in the jet to pressure in the flow). Analysis performed in this study is aimed at revelation and detailed explanation of mechanisms of formation of vortices behind the injected sonic jet in a supersonic oncoming flow depending on n for improving the effectiveness of mixing of the jet with the flow. As initial equations, we have used 3D Favre-averaged Navier–Stokes equations closed by the k–ω model of turbulence; these equations are solved using the algorithm based on the essentially nonoscillatory scheme of the third approximation order. We have demonstrated the presence of the following vortex structures known from a number of theoretical publications: two oppositely rotating vortices in front of the jet, a horseshoe vortex; and two pairs formed in the mixing zone between the jet and the flow (one in the wake behind the jet and the other on the lateral line of the jet). We have determined the pressure ratios for which extra pairs of vortices appear (one pair emerges at the Mach disk edge as a result of interaction of a retarded flow of the jet behind the Mach disk with a high-velocity ascending flow behind the barrel and the other pair is formed due to the interaction of the ascending jet flow with the incoming main gas flow). As a result of comparative analysis, the pressure ratios for which a clear pattern of additional horn vortices is observed near the wall in the region behind the jet, have been determined. The dependence of the slope of the bow shock on the pressure ratio has been plotted. It is found that the pressure distribution at the wall in front of the jet in the symmetry plane is in satisfactory agreement with experimental data.
