A Numerical Investigation Into the Nozzle Flow of High By-Pass Turbofans

Numerical investigations for the interacting flow fields of primary and secondary nozzles confirm, that for high by-pass turbofans there is a strong influence of the fan flow on the discharge and thrust coefficients of the core nozzle and of the fan afterbody shape on the coefficients of the fan nozzle. After a review of standard methods two new parameters to correlate the thrust of different concepts are proposed and investigations into flight conditions are put forward. Several nozzle coefficients derived from the integrated velocity profiles and the static pressure field are necessary to assess the quality of nozzle flow.
