Abstract
Results of measuring the length of the supersonic portion of the air jets that flow out of axisymmetric sonic nozzles 10.4 μm-1 mm in diameter are presented. The measurements are carried out in a range of degree of jet noncalculation of 1–30 and in a wide Reynolds number range, including the laminar and turbulent flow modes. It is shown that the Reynolds number calculated from the nozzle diameter and the outlet parameters of gas is the parameter that governs jet flow. It is found that, for a laminar jet mixing layer, the length of the supersonic portion sharply increases. When the jet mixing layer becomes turbulent, the length of the supersonic portion decreases. The effect of increasing the length of the supersonic portion after its decrease due to the turbulization of flow in a jet and a growth in the Reynolds number is first discovered.
