Abstract
SummaryThe quasi-one-dimensional theory due to Carpenter and Johannesen is applied to supercritical swirling flows in convergent-divergent nozzles. Only flows with uniformly constant stagnation pressure and entropy are considered. Values of exit impulse function and area ratio are given for various types of swirling flow with a range of back-pressure ratios. Thrust coefficients are calculated using these values and specific thrust coefficients plotted against maximum swirl velocity for various cases. In some cases the specific thrust for swirling nozzle flows very slightly exceeds the no-swirl value. The effects of nozzle wall curvature and flight speed on swirling nozzle flows are discussed. The contribution of post-exit thrust to the total thrust is estimated for swirling flow. Finally, the implications are considered of using swirl at the cruise conditions of a typical SST.
