PIV analysis of coupled supersonic twin-jets

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference PaperResearchpeer-review

Abstract

An analysis of the standing-wave present in twin supersonic jets examined and linked to coupling mode. High resolution particle image velocimetry measurements are made for two nozzle pressure ratios, which are selected due to a change in coupling family indicated by a discontinuous jump in screech frequency.A strong nearfield standing-wave is observed for the higher nozzle pressure ratio case where a mismatch between the acoustic screech wavelength and standing-wavelength is observed. Avery weak standing-wave is observed in the lower pressure case, which more closely matches the screech wavelength. Two-point velocity correlations reveal a symmetric mode coupling for the higher pressure case. The lower pressure case provided little evidence for plume coupling belonging to an in-plane family oscillation.
