This paper presents the experimental results of subsonic and underexpanded sonic jets delivered from a central nozzle surrounded by a co-flow. The role of central nozzle lip thickness on the co-flow jet characteristics has been studied. The jet-mixing enhancement is achieved in the case of jet from the thick-lip nozzle compared to that of thin-lip nozzle. The extent of supersonic zone for the thick-lip is much shorter than the thin-lip jet.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
