Measurement of confined supersonic, 2-d jet lengths using the hydraulic analogy

In this study, inviscid, confined supersonic and subsonic stream interactions are studied using a hydraulic analog experiment. Specifically, the length of the first minimum location of the slip-line is measured. Reasonable agreement is shown between a theoretical model and analog measurements. A met...

Summary:In this study, inviscid, confined supersonic and subsonic stream interactions are studied using a hydraulic analog experiment. Specifically, the length of the first minimum location of the slip-line is measured. Reasonable agreement is shown between a theoretical model and analog measurements. A method for extending the isentropic limited hydraulic analogy to model these inherently nonisentropic flows is also developed. (Author)
