The present paper describes an experimental work to investigate a transonic resonance in supersonic jet that is discharged from a convergent-divergent nozzle. When the nozzle m: at low nozzle pressure ratios, the shock occurs within the divergent section of the nozzle. The transonic resonance of a jet flow is generated by an emission of strong acoustic tones due to the unsteadiness of the shock. A Schlieren optical system is used to visualize the supersonic jet flow In order to specify the flow resonance of a jet, acoustic measurements are performed to obtain noise spectra. The acoustic characteristics of transonic resonace are compared with those of screech tones. The results obtained show that unlike screech frequency, the transonic reso- nace frequency somewhat increases with increasing the nozzle pressure ratio.

Convective heat transfer coefficient was measured around a secondary jet ejected into the supersonic flow field. Wall temperature distribution was measured on the surface, which the constant heat flux condition is applied. According to jet to freestream momentum ratio, the secondary flow was penetrated into the supersonic flow field. During the test, two dimensional thermal image of a wall temperature is taken by an infra-red camera. Experiments were performed under the testing condition of freestream Mach number of about 3, stagnation pressure of 630 kPa and Reynolds number of $3.0{\times}10^6$.

When the under-expanded supersonic jet impinges on the perpendicular plate, it is well known that the self-induced flow oscillation occurs at the specific conditions. This phenomenon is related with the noise problems of aeronautical and other industrial engineering. But, the very complicated flow field is formed and it is difficult to clear the flow structure and the mechanism of oscillation. This paper aims to clear the characteristics of flow field and the wave pattern during the under-expanded supersonic jet impinges on the plate. The numerical calculation was carried out using the TVD numerical method. In this paper, the flow visualization, the pressure fluctuation on the surface of plate and the mechanism of oscillation are discussed.

Convective heat transfer coefficient was measured around a circular secondary jet ejected into the supersonic flow field. The wall temperature measurement around a injection nozzle was conducted using infra-red camera. The constant heat flux is applied to the wall around a secondary nozzle. According to jet to freestream momentum ratio, the injection flow penetrates into the supersonic flow field. The measured temperature is used to calculate the convective heat transfer coefficient.

The numerical investigation of the interaction between the underexpanded supersonic jet and the perpendicular plate is carried out using the TVD numerical method. The wave structure in the flowfield and the pressure and temperature distributions on the plate surface are obtained by the numerical analysis. Especially, the influence of self-induced flow oscillation caused by the impinging jet and the characteristic of impinging jet are shown. From the result of the numerical analysis, it is concluded that the pressure and the temperature fluctuations on the plate surface strongly depends on the pressure ratio in the flowfield and the position of plate.

A computational study of supersonic flow around lateral jet controlled missile has been performed. For this study, three dimensional Navier-Stokes code(AADL3D) has been developed. Spalart-Allmaras one equation turbulence model has been implemented on the AADL3D code for relatively rapid computational time. For the validation of developed code, AADL3D, pressure distributions on an ogive-cylinder body has been compared with experimental data. Also, the shock structure of sonic jet on the flat plate in the supersonic flow field has been compared with experimental flow visualization result to see the analysis capability of freestream-jet interaction case. A case study has been performed through comparing the normal force coefficient and the moment coefficient of missile body for several jet flow conditions. Current results will be used to the optimum design of a lateral jet controlled missile.

Computational study has been undertaken to investigate the aerodynamic influence of side jet on a supersonic missile and to find a similarity condition between the flight condition and the wind tunnel testing. Tasks were peformed to validate the existing Raytheon test body with side jet, to simulate the flow inside the supersonic wind tunnel, and to compare the flow fields between the missile in free flight and that in the wind tunnel. Then sub-scale model of body-tail configuration was analyzed to estimate the influence of the side jet on the missile components. It is found that the influence of side jet is not as significant on the tail region as on the body surface and a simple algebraic formula for aerodynamic coefficients accounting for the side jet as a point force may be cautiously utilized in setting up control logic.

The present study addresses an experimental investigations of the near field flow structures of supersonic, dual, coaxial, swirl jet. The swirl stream is discharged from the secondary annular nozzle and the primary inner nozzle provides the sonic and supersonic free jets. The interactions between the secondary swirl and inner soni $c^ersonic jets are quantified by a fine pilot impact and static pressure measurements and are visualized by using a shadowgraph optical method. The pressure ratios of the secondary swirl and primary soni $c^ersonic jets are varied below 7.0. Experiments are conducted to investigate the effects of the secondary swirl stream on the primary sonic and supersonic jets, compared with the secondary stream of no swirl. The results show that the presence of annular swirl stream causes the Mach disk to move more downstream, with the increased diameter, and remarkably reduces the fluctuations of the impact pressures in the supersonic dual coaxial jet, compared with the case of the secondary annular stream of no swirl.swirl.

The effects of vortex generators, in the form of small delta-shaped tabs or thin tapes at an axi-symmetric supersonic nozzle exit, on the characteristics of supersonic jet flowfields are investigated by Schlieren images and Pitot-tube measurements. Small tabs as small as 1 % of the nozzle exit area can introduce streamwise vortices and produce a significant effect on the jet flowfield downstream of the nozzle. The effect is stronger for the cases of under-expanded jet than over- and perfect-expanded cases, introducing a larger flow entrainment. The effects of the angle of tabs with respect to the flow direction are also investigated, and for over-expanded jet cases, it is found that the tabs bended toward upstream can weaken the interaction strength and remove the Mach disc in the jet flowfield. Introduction of small proturbances inside the nozzle surface by attachment of thin tapes is also found to change the pressure distribution in the circumferential direction of the flowfield. Its effect is also found to be dependent on the jet expansion ratio.
