Abstract

Abstract This paper presents the numerical analysis of a convergent-divergent circular nozzle with the exit Mach number of 1.69 with and without passive control at the exit. The passive control method opted for this analysis was inward and outward ascending triangular protrusion. This paper explores the influence of the passive control geometry and its blockage area concerning the nozzle exit. The nozzle pressure ratio (NPR) used for carrying out the flow analysis were 3, 4.932, and 6. Two different inward and outward protrusions were used with a height of 1.5 mm and 3 mm. From the results, the potential core length of the protrusion 1.5 mm height was not much changed in the both outward and inward cases. But when the height of the protrusion was increased to 3 mm, there was a noticeable core length reduction at all NPR but with different cases. At the NPR of 6, the potential core length of the inward protrusions 3 mm was reduced by 44 % compared to the plain CD nozzle.
