Abstract

The flow in a convergent nozzle equipped with chevrons and the flow around the chevrons are numerically simulated and studied on the basis of the numerical integration of the system of Reynolds equations closed by a differential model for the turbulent viscosity. From the calculated results, the flow pattern, the action of the chevrons on the flow, the circulation generated, and the values of the parameters characterizing the streamwise vorticity are determined. The results of calculations of the thrust and flow-rate characteristics of nozzles equipped with chevrons are presented. The data for chevron and conical nozzles are compared.
