Abstract

The interaction of the spatial supersonic turbulent gas flow with a sound jet injected perpendicularly was widely studied both numerically and experimentally. However, there are only a few studies of the detail analysis of the formation and distribution of vortex structures from moderate till high pressure ratio (the ratio of pressure in the jet to pressure in the main flow).The aim of this paper is the study and identify the system of the vortex forming behind the injected sound jet in a transverse supersonic flow from the point of view of the mixing efficiency. For that the three-dimensional Favre-averaged Navier-Stokes equations, coupled with the turbulence model are solved numerically on the basis of the third-order ENO scheme. The three-dimensional Favre-averaged Navier-Stokes equations, coupled with the turbulence model are solved numerically on the basis of the third-order ENO scheme. The presence of well known vortex structures are shown: two oppositely rotating vortices in front of the jet; horseshoe vortex; two pairs of the vortex in the mixing zone of the jet and the main flow, where one of them is located in the wake behind the jet and other in the lateral line of the jet. Also, the pressure ratio parameters are determined at which the additional pairs of vortices appear. Where, the first of them is formed on the edge of the Mach disk as a result of the interaction of the decelerated jet flow behind the Mach disk with the high-speed ascending flow behind the barrel. And, the second is due to the interaction of the ascending jet flow with the main gas flow. As a result of comparative analysis the criterion of the pressure ratio parameters are found under which a clear picture of additional horn vortices is observed near the wall in the region behind the jet. The graph of the dependence of the angle of inclination of the bow shock wave on the parameter of pressure ratio is obtained. Satisfactory agreement of the pressure distribution on the wall in front of the jet in the symmetry plane with experimental data is established.
