Abstract
In nacelle design, optimization of nozzle shape is crucial for flow control. To understand the effect of nozzle shape on its aerodynamic performance and jet flow structures, the numerical experiment is performed using the dual separate flow reference (DSFR) nozzle released by the Aero Systems Engineering (ASE) FluidDyne Laboratory. A pair of U-shaped notches are made on the nozzle. The results show that the discharge coefficient and thrust angle increase with the size of the notches in all the simulated operating conditions. The notches induce a pair of streamwise vortices, which enhance turbulent mixing and decrease turbulent kinetic energy in the mixing layer.
