Some properties of the underexpanded sonic jet on retardation

Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Sharp variation of pressure was observed downstream of the diffusor on investigating the retardation of an underexpanded sonic jet by means of the diffusor. This phenomenon is explained by examining the Schlieren photographs. A relationship was obtained for determining the mass rate of flow through the central shock.
