Abstract
The situation chosen for study is a gaseous jet that is injected through a transverse slot nozzle in a wall and into a supersonic external flow which is uniform outside of a turbulent boundary layer. Experiments were conducted with normal, sonic jets and forward-facing steps at external flow Mach numbers of 2.5 to 13, and Reynolds numbers based on running length of 7.5 X 10 to 5.5 x 10. The amplification factor (the upstream interaction force plus the jet thrust normalized by the vacuum thrust of a sonic jet) is relatively insensitive to variations in external flow Mach number and Reynolds number. The effect of pressure ratio on amplification factor is very small when the external flow properties and jet mass flow rate are held constant. Plateau pressures associated with separation upstream of the jet or step, and wall static pressure distributions near the separation line are in good agreement with existing correlations.
