Abstract
A transverse jet issuing from an elliptic injector into a supersonic crossflow has been investigated using large eddy simulation. The complex flow structures and the relevant flow features are analyzed to exhibit the evolution of shock structures, vertical structures and jet shear layer. A horseshoe vortex is formed in the upstream of the jet and the shock structures exhibit small fluctuations due to the flow interaction. The kidney-shaped counter-rotating vortex pair dominates the flow field in the downstream of the jet. The elliptic jet spreads rapidly in the spanwise direction and then the axis-switching phenomenon occurs. Intense turbulent fluctuations are identified behind the Mach disk because of the large velocity gradients.
