Compressible Flow Structures Interaction with a Two-Dimensional Ejector: A Cold-Flow Study

Abstract

An experimental study has been conducted to examine the interaction of compressible flow structures such as shocks and vortices with a 2-D ejector geometry using a shock tube facility.Three diaphragm pressure ratios of P 4 /P 1 = 4, 8, and 12 have been employed, where P 4 is the driver gas pressure and P 1 is the pressure within the driven compartment of the shock tube. These lead to incident shock Mach numbers of M s = 1.34, 1.54, and 1.66, respectively. The length of the driver section of the shock tube was 700 mm. Air was used for both the driver and driven gases.
