Abstract
The flow evolution and mixing characteristics of supersonic jets issuing from converging rectangular and notched-rectangular nozzles of aspect ratio 5.5, with and without boundary layer swirl vanes, were studied in the free jet research facility at the University of Kansas. Centerline Mach number traverses and cross-sectional flowfield contours at four downstream locations illustrated the jet development. Spreading rate and mass flow calculations indicated the level of mixing obtained. It was confirmed that the notched nozzle configuration produced greater mixing than the straight rectangular one, and that the addition of boundary layer swirl significantly increased the mixing over the corresponding nonswirling jet.
