Abstract
Steam or moist air is used as working gas in a wide range of engineering applications of supersonic jets. In these cases, nonequilibrium homogeneous condensation may occur at the downstream of nozzle throat. The surrounding gas will be heated by the release of latent heat of condensation, and may results a change in the flowfield. The present report will describe numerical investigations predicting the effect of nonequilibrium condensation on the flow characteristics of ideally-expanded supersonic free jets. A TVD numerical method is applied to solve RANS and droplet growth equations. The predicted results are compared with the experimental data.
