in Titre de série : | Journal of fluids engineering, Vol.117, No.4 | Titre : | Predictions of the structure of turbulent, highly underexpanded jets | Type de document : | articles et extraits | Auteurs : | P. S. Cumber, Auteur ; M. Fairweather, Auteur ; S. A. E. G. Falle, Auteur ; J. R. Giddings, Auteur | Année de publication : | 1995 | Importance : | p. 599-604 | Langues : | Anglais (eng) | Mots-clés : | Free jet Axially symmetric flow Underexpanded jet Compressible fluid Modeling Turbulence structure Shock waves Velocity distribution Boundary conditions Numerical simulation | Résumé : | A mathematical model capable of predicting the shock and flow structure of turbulent, underexpanded jets is described. The model is based on solutions of the fluid flow equations obtained using a second-order accurate, finite-volume integration scheme together with an adaptive grid algorithm. Closure of these equations is achieved using a k-e turbulence model coupled to the compressible dissipation rate correction proposed by Sarkar et al. Extending earlier work which demonstrated the ability of this model to predict the structure of moderately underexpanded jets, the present paper compares model predictions and experimental data, reported in the literature, on a number of highly underexpanded releases. The results obtained demonstrate that the model yields reliable predictions of shock structure in the near field, inviscid region of such jets, while in the far field results derived using the compressibility corrected turbulence model are adequate for predicting meanflow properties, and are superior to those obtained using a standard k-ε approach. |
