Measurement of surface heat transfer caused by interaction of sonic jet and supersonic crossflow near injection hole.

This paper investigates the surface heat transfer caused by interaction of a jet and a supersonic crossflow near the jet injection hole. A sonic jet with different momentum ratios (J = 0.510 , 1.018, 1.477) was injected perpendicularly into a crossflow with a Mach number of 3.0 in a supersonic wind tunnel. Surface temperature through time measured by infrared thermography was used to deduce surface heat flux. In addition, heat transfer coefficients and adiabatic wall temperatures were derived from time histories of surface heat flux and temperature. In order to consider an effect of conduction from the inner hole surface, a three-dimensional energy conservation is considered in the deduction process of the heat flux. As a result, the characteristics of the heat transfer near the hole and the change in the heat transfer with momentum ratios are presented. The separation vortex and recirculation vortex are found to be dominant flow features in terms of the augmentation of the heat transfer. The maximum heat transfer is observed at the immediate vicinity of the hole due to the flow oscillation from a jet-mixing layer. This oscillation resulted in a 390% of augmentation of the heat transfer near the hole compared to the freestream even at the lowest momentum ratio. Also, the augmentation near the hole is more susceptible to change of momentum ratio compared to the augmentation on the overall interaction area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
