Abstract

This paper presents the numerical simulation of the subsonic jets controlled by slanted perforated tabs and its performance of mixing efficiency is compared with the jet controlled by solid tab and free jet. The objective of this paper is to study the performance of slanted perforation geometry tabs in controlling high speed jets to enhance the mixing of jet with the ambient air, to suppress the noise level and to minimize the thrust loss. In this paper the simulations have been carried out using the commercial meshing and analysis software. Due to the effect of tabs the potential core decay occurs and velocity reduces drastically because of enhanced mixing produced by the tabs. From the results it is found that in slanted perforated tab the main jet interacts with the slanted perforated jet which causes in effective mixing, instability in jets and lower thrust loss when compared with the free jet. The decay of the potential core and velocity reduction is computed by simulation for 0.4 Mach number. Velocity plots are obtained at both near field and far field downstream locations to study the jet distortion with slanted perforated tabs and solid tabs. The results obtained for perforated tabs for 0.4 Mach number are also compared with various other Mach numbers. They have also been validated with experimental results which show good agreement with the computational results.
