Abstract
Abstract Based on the jet stability theory, under the conditions of gas rotation, fluid compressibility and supercavitation, this paper gives the mathematical model describing the thermal instability of supercavitating liquid jet surrounded by a coaxial rotary gas, and the corresponding numerical method for solving the mathematical model is proposed and verified by the data in reference. Then, this paper analyzes the effects of gas–liquid temperature differences and temperature gradients on jet instability, and studies the thermal stability of supercavitating jet. The results show that the maximum disturbance growth rate, the dominant frequency and the maximum disturbance wave numbers increase linearly with the increase of gas–liquid temperature differences. The existence of temperature gradient inside the jet makes the effects of temperature differences on jet instability more obvious. The temperature gradient will inhibit the effect of supercavitation on jet instability, while gas–liquid temperature difference will promote the effect of supercavitation on jet instability.
