Scale effect of gas injection into a supersonic crossflow

Large-eddy simulations and nanoparticle-based planar laser scattering experiments are conducted to investigate various physical aspects of transverse sonic jets injected into a Ma-3.0 supersonic crossflow through a circular pipe. Configurations with one jet and two opposite jets are compared. For the single jet, a separation shock is generated by the recirculation zone on the opposite wall, and this intersects with the jet shear layer to push several jet plumes into the near-wall region. For the two jets, the bow shocks interact with each other, forming an oblique shock train. All of the shocks promote vortex breakage in jet wakes. A counter-rotating vortex pair is generated in the jet near-field region, enhancing the local mixing. A near-wall region in the jet lee between the counter-rotating vortex pair branches exhibits a low fuel mass fraction. The jet fluid in the downstream near-wall region is entrained by the crossflow upstream of the jet. The interaction between the bow shocks and shear layers of the two jets induces recirculation zones in the lee of the jet, which enhance the fuel mixing. This explains the phenomenon whereby the total pressure recovery coefficient and mixing efficiency of two jets are higher than those of the single jet.
