Abstract
Supersonic free jets from an orifice with convex and concave corners are investigated in three-dimensional field by the DSMC method. The plumes develop faster from the concave corners of a hexagram orifice with symmetric cross section than from the convex corners. The mechanism of the development is revealed through the observation of velocity vectors right behind the orifice. The directions of flow are also investigated in various cross sections of jet. There is a complicated flow-field and several circulations of flow are observed. In an asymmetric orifice, on the other hand, a plume from a concave corner is inclined to the adjacent plume and they are merged into a bigger plume.
