Abstract

A general method of calculating two-dimensional (plane and axisymmetric) mixing of a compressible jet in variable-area ducts has been developed. The method incorporates finite-difference approximations to the conservation equations, and is applicable to a wide range of Mach number, mass flow ratio, and initial conditions. The model was based on mixing length approximations deduced from boundary-layer and free-jet mixing for the upstream portion of the flow, and on a new mixing length distribution for the downstream zone which is entirely occupied by shear flow. The method has been tested and found satisfactory with existing data on boundary layer, constant-diameter duct entrance flow, constant-pressure jet mixing, and jet mixing in variable-area ducts. Part II of the paper describes tests of the method with new data from an experimental ejector study.
