Introduction/Overview• Experimental static test of plug nozzle• Research carried out under Task 7c of the Supersonic Business Jet program (SSBJ)• Purpose:
– Characterize behavior, especially low nozzle pressure ratio (NPR) unsteady effects– Provide basis for CFD comparison & evaluation
• Test geometry derived from Gulfstream’s High-Flow Bypass concept– Designed for sonic boom mitigation– High-flow bypass region avoids thick engine nacelle that would create strong shock wave– Zero-energy-added stream; only intent is to reduce losses– Plug nozzle design chosen for easy integration with this concept

Background• Plug nozzles are altitude-compensating• Free jet boundary expands to match
local ambient pressure– For NPRs below design, avoids
overexpansion– For NPRs at and above design, behaves
like standard C-D nozzle• Shocks/expansions are the mechanisms
that enable altitude-compensation– Consider thrust as integral of surface
pressure over projected area– Pressure plot at right shows better
performance for plug at low NPR• Can truncate plug to get net increase in
performance• Plug design has also been shown to be
less noisy [Dosanjh, 1986; Stone, 2000]

Background• Similar studies have been performed for conical, truncated, and contoured plugs• Images shown here taken from tests conducted by Verma at India’s National
Aerospace Labs• Both plugs are conical, not contoured• Design NPR ≈ 7.8, both images at NPR = 2.57

Notable Geometry Differences
• No high-flow bypass stream• Shroud wall thickness increased for
structural soundness and machinability• Subsonic convergent angle increased• Hot/cold flow split introduced• New strut design for rig compatibility and
instrumentation pass-through

Test Facility
10
• Used new dual-stream, co-annular nozzle rig developed under SSBJ Task 7b• Simulates typical turbofan engine exhaust
– Unheated bypass stream– Vitiated core stream
• Blowdown facility capable of test times on the order of several minutes [Trebs, 2008]
• Condition-monitoring temperature and pressure measurements throughout• Total temperature & pressure rakes provide nozzle feed conditions
Mass-averaged nozzle pressure ratio (NPR) defined as:
where total pressures are averaged over space, not time

Instrumentation• Static Pressure Taps
– Focused primarily on axial resolution (best is 0.5”)• High-frequency Sensors
– Kulite Pressure Transducers– Accelerometers– Used Welch’s method to pull power spectral density from raw data
• High-speed Schlieren/Shadowgraph

High-frequency Transducers
• Omitted taps marked (P19, P29, S15)• Primary static measurement along
+45° row (blue, 0.5” spacing)– 20 taps on plug– 12 taps on shroud
• Additional taps for azimuthal variation– 10 on plug– 9 on shroud

Flow Visualization• Schlieren
– Sensitive to 1st derivative of density in direction perpendicular to knife edge
– Most tests with vertical knife edge– Images external section of nozzle– Considerable background noise
• Shadowgraph– Sensitive to 2nd derivative of density, non-
directional– Implemented due to schlieren limitations with
glass shroud– Images almost entire nozzle (from about 1”
downstream of throat)– Image processing technique applied to reduce
effect of glass imperfections on image

1. Track intensity of individual pixel near centerbody edge• Pixel choice important• Not that sensitive to noise in schlieren images
2. Track tip location• Provides amplitude as well as frequency• Quite sensitive to noise in schlieren images

Tests• Total of 57 successful tests
– Conducted from Jan. 28, 2009 through Feb. 23, 2009– 22 steady-state hot, NPRs of 1.77 to 6.12– 30 steady-state cold, NPRs of 1.26 to 5.75– 5 cold flow sweeps
• For hot fires, temperature varied between 600 °F and 1200 °F– Insufficient control of fuel flow to reduce this variation
• Concentrated on low NPRs ( < 3.0 )– Region of concern for unsteady characteristics

Hot Fire Schlieren
• At cruise, shroud trailing edge shock lies right at theoretical plug tip
• Quality schlieren images harder to obtain during hot fires due to combustion products and temperature gradients
• Mixing layer between hot core and cold bypass streams not very clear due to light path integration issue

• Optical properties of glass shroud prevented schlieren use
• More detail visible in cold flow• After 1st hot fire, some
condensed liquid accumulated on the shroud’s inner surface, forming a visualization of shock location at the wall typical of oil flow

CFD Schlieren Comparison
• Phantom normal shock train– No shock reflection or separation on plug– “Wavy” shape of apparent shocks is uncharacteristic of normal shocks
• Axisymmetric CFD shows that a large separation region does exist and that the faint normal shocks do not extend all the way to the plug surface

High-Speed Schlieren
• Cold Flow 2.11• Recorded at 6000 fps• Playback at 10 fps (1/600th speed)
• Shock oscillation visually observed– Period of 17 frames– Equivalent to 353 Hz
• Very good match with dynamic pressure transducers

Steady Pressures: Experimental Comparisons
• Can clearly see shock locations, separation regions• Black/yellow diamonds indicate suspect data points• Primary difference between hot & cold operation is position of shock along
plug– Caused by temperature difference of roughly 800-1000°F

Steady Pressures: CFD Comparisons
• Fluent analysis with coarse unstructured grid for sizing– No dedicated boundary layer gridding
• Most glaring difference is axial shock location• Conclusion: flow is dominated by boundary layer and separation
– This CFD does not resolve the boundary layer well• Comparison near throat shows why two pressure taps are suspect

Cold Flow Kulites• Substantial pressure
oscillations at NPRs ≤ 2.25 due to shock movement
• Dominant frequency = 200-400 Hz

Hot Fire Kulites• Frequency peaks in same
200-400 Hz range, not as evident as with cold flow
• Spectrum for f > 1000 Hz caused by combustion instabilities
• 60 Hz noise seen in many hot fire tests
• Near NPR 2.50, wide band of pressure oscillation frequencies, but no distinct peaks (repeatable during 3 distinct tests)

shroud) as NPR slowly increases past 2.05

indicated by similarly colored diamond• Overall, shows decrease in pressure
fluctuations in 2nd structure• NPR plot below shows no abrupt
change in feed conditions

Summary & Conclusions
Summary• A derivative of Gulfstream’s high-flow bypass nozzle has been designed and manufactured to fit
the new nozzle rig at HPL.• A series of experimental tests of this nozzle has been successfully conducted in close
partnership with our sponsors.• Instrumentation suite allowed collection of steady-state pressure profiles and unsteady flow
characteristics• Used a combination of schlieren and shadowgraph methods to enhance understanding of
nozzle flow physics
Conclusions• At cruise (NPR = 6.23), nozzle performs well• At NPRs between 2.5 and 6, flow is relatively steady
– Shock/boundary layer interaction and separation along plug and shroud• At NPRs between 1.0 and 2.5, flow is unsteady
– Dominated by boundary layer and separation characteristics on plug

• Variable geometry will be necessary for a production system (this was expected but is still worth noting)
• Truncate Plug– Literature indicates that additional compressions and/or expansions that would occur would
remain within the plume and have little effect on the external flow field– Reduce/eliminate any tip vibration and reduce manufacturing complexity– Weight savings → possible net performance gain
• Shorten Shroud– Incorporate better altitude-compensating behavior– Reduce/eliminate massive separation along plug– Simple modification to existing geometry
• Use focused schlieren– Combat the “phantom” shocks created by the light path integration issue– Would also reduce sensitivity to background noise
