Abstract
We present here the experiments demonstrating the scaling law for supersonic core length in circular and elliptic free jets. A proper scale for the supersonic core length of free jets is found as Lc*AR e−0.11γMj2, where Lc* is the core length normalized by nozzle throat diameter Dth, AR is the aspect ratio of the elliptic nozzle, γ is the specific heats ratio, and Mj is the ideally expanded jet Mach number. The scaling law developed for supersonic core length shows a close dependence with nozzle expansion ratio pe/pa and agrees well with the results reported in open literature, including the data reported for γ = 1.28–1.67. In spite of their uniqueness, the present results refer to circular and elliptic jets only. Thus, other similar studies on rectangular and square jets for a wide range of parameters are needed for a full comprehension of the universality of the scaling law for non-circular jets.
