Abstract

This paper presents the experimental results of overexpanded jets delivered from a primary Mach 2 convergent-divergent circular nozzle surrounded by an annular co-flow. It is found that the co-flow is effective in elongating the supersonic core and reducing the mixing in the far-field. The overexpansion level of the primary jet plays a dominant role in modifying the shock-structure and far-field jet characteristics significantly. Maximum elongation in the supersonic core length was observed at NPR 4.
