Abstract

Experiments were carried out on jets issuing from circular nozzles with grooved exits and the results compared with those of the plain nozzle. The plain nozzle had an exit diameter of 10mm. Because of the introduction of semi-circular grooves at the exit, the effective or equivalent diameter of the grooved nozzles was 10·44mm. The groove lengths were varied as 3, 5 and 8mm. The nozzles were operated at fully expanded sonic and underexpanded exit conditions. The corresponding fully expanded Mach numbers were 1·0 and 1·41. The shock cell structure of the underexpanded jets from grooved nozzles appeared to be weaker than that of the plain nozzle, as indicated by lesser amplitudes of the cyclic variation of the Pitot pressure. The iso-Mach contours indicate that the jet spread along the grooved plane is significantly higher than that along the ungrooved plane. Off-centre peaks were observed in the mean pressure profile of underexpanded jets from grooved nozzles. They were probably due to the streamwise vortices shed from the grooves.
