Abstract
Jet flow-control technology is a promising area of fluid research. In this work, the flow-control effect of a curved-surface jet in an incoming flow of Mach = 5 and its underlying control mechanism are experimentally studied using high-speed photography and dynamic force measurement. From the establishment of complete stability of the flow field, the evolutionary process can be roughly divided into five stages: two equilibrium stages (short and long term), jet acceleration stage, bow shock formation stage, interference removal stage, and stable state. By defining the pressure ratio (PR) as an independent variable, it is found that the flow control of the jet occurs through different wave-system structures. The interaction between the jet and the incoming flow produces an oblique shockwave and expansion waves. The shockwave generates thrust and forms a virtual rudder surface; the expansion waves interact with the backflow region and the separated shear layer to generate lift. Moreover, PR has an optimal solution of PR opt. When PR < PR opt, the effect of flow control is related to α, Ve, and ρe, and the greater the PR, the stronger the flow-control effect. When PR > PR opt, the flow-control effect is related to α and ρe, and the larger the PR, the weaker the effect of the shockwave and the stronger the effect of the expansion waves but the slower the growth. In experiments, the thrust, pitching moment, and lift increased by 17.43%, 17.75%, and 9.45%, respectively, because of the appearance of wave-system structure when PR opt = 201.32.
