Abstract

The structure of supersonic nonisobaric jets with Mach numbers Ma = 1 and 2 is considered experimentally to find the effect of streamline curvature on the evolution of streamwise vortices in the mixing layer. The spatial development of steady streamwise vortices in the mixing layer of supersonic jets is considered. A method for generation of steady streamwise vortices by applying microroughness elements of controlled size onto the inner surface of the nozzle is developed. Radial profiles and azimuthal variations of total pressure are obtained; the mixing‐layer thickness and the curvature of streamlines in supersonic jets are determined. A significant effect of microroughness elements of prescribed shape located on the nozzle surface on the behavior of total pressure in the mixing layer of supersonic jets, as compared to natural disturbances, is obtained.
