The characteristics of a sonic under-expanded coaxial jet with lip thickness 1.5D p (where D p is the exit diameter of primary jet equals 10 mm) with the primary jet operating at nozzle pressure ratio (NPR) of 3, 4 and 5. For NPR 3 operating primary jet, the secondary jet operates at NPR 2.5, 1.4 and 1.27. For primary jet NPR 4, the secondary jet operating NPR is 3.2, 1.6 and 1.4. For NPR 5 primary jet, the secondary jet NPR is 3.8, 1.89 and 1.52. The study is performed using a co-flow nozzle of bypass ratio (BR) 6.4, 1.4 and 0.7. The core length of the primary jet is used as a measure to quantify the mixing of the primary jet in the presence of coaxial jet. The shock structure present in the near field was viewed using shadowgraph technique. Centreline pitot pressure distribution, radial spread and waves present in the jet core were analyzed. The results show that the mixing associated with the high bypass coaxial jet is superior to the low bypass coaxial jet. This mixing superiority associated with high bypass coaxial jet prevails all levels of expansion.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to find the droplets impact on the airplane wing structure. Two kinds of characteristics of the droplet at different velocity and viscosity are assumed. The droplet is assumed to be spherical cubic form and it is injected from the convergent divergent nozzle with a passive control. Design/methodology/approach This paper presents the results of a numerical simulation of droplet impact on the horizontal surface. The effects of impact parameters are studied. The splash effect of the droplet also visualized. The results are presented in form of stress, strain, displacement magnitude of the droplet. Findings Crosswire is used as passive control. The behavior of the droplet impact is observed based on the kinetic energy and the gravitational forces. Originality/value The results predict that smooth particle hydrodynamic designed droplet not only depend on the equation of state of the droplet but also the injection velocity from the nozzle. It also determined that droplet velocity is depending on the viscosity of the fluid.

Purpose The purpose of the study is to design economical shock tube. It is an instrument used for experimental investigations not only related to shock phenomena but also for the behavior of the material when it is subjected to high-speed flow. The material used here in this shock tube is stainless steel ss304 and aluminum. A shock tube consists of two sections, namely, the driver and the driven. The gas in the driven and driver is filled with atmospheric air and nitrogen, respectively, under the predominant condition. Design/methodology/approach The focus of the study is on the design and fabrication of shock tubes. a shock tube is a research tool to make an aerodynamic test in the presence of high pressure and temperature by generating moving normal shock waves under controlled conditions. Findings The main necessity for instrumentation in the shock tube experiment is to know the velocity of the moving shock wave from which the other parameters can be calculated. the pressure transducers are located in the shock tube in various locations to measure aerodynamic parameters in terms of pressure. Originality/value The main objective of this project work is to make an experimental setup to produce supersonic velocity with the readily available material in the market in a highly safe manner.
