Abstract:
The invention provides a mixer for a confluent-flow nozzle of a turbine engine, the mixer comprising an annular cap designed to be centered on a longitudinal axis of the nozzle and having a stationary upstream portion and a downstream portion that is movable in rotation about the longitudinal axis relative to the stationary portion, the movable portion of the cap terminating at its downstream end in inner lobes alternating circumferentially with outer lobes, and means for imparting reciprocating rotary motion to the movable portion of the cap.
Abstract:
The invention concerns an afterbody for a mixed-flow turbojet engine having a central axis (LL), comprising a lobed mixer (6), having alternating hot lobes (12) projecting into the secondary flow (F2) and cold lobes (13) penetrating into the primary flow (F1), and a nozzle (1) comprising, on the trailing edge (14) of same, longitudinal indentations (15) defining a crown of noise-reducing chevrons (7), characterised in that, at a predefined abscissa (X5) on the central axis (LL) downstream from the lobed mixer (6), the inner wall (2) of the nozzle (1) has a neck where the surface area of the transverse passage section of a flow into the nozzle passes through a minimum, and in that, downstream from this predefined abscissa (X5), the radius of the inner wall (2) of the nozzle (1) varies between the indentations (15) and the chevrons (7) so as to produce, in the flow, in the vicinity of said crown of chevrons (7), azimuth fluctuations of the Mach number. It also concerns a method for designing such an afterbody that comprises setting the azimuth of the lobed mixer (6) and of the chevrons (7).
Abstract:
According to the invention, the method for defining the shape of a convergent-divergent nozzle of longitudinal axis L-L comprising a convergent part connected, at a throat, to a divergent part the downstream free end of which comprises scallops delimiting noise-reducing chevrons distributed in the circumferential direction,comprises defining beforehand the divergent part of the nozzle using a divergent first portion, a divergent second portion and a convergent portion, attributing an initial value to dimensional parameters defining the chevrons and the three portions, calculating performance criteria and checking that the calculated performance criteria satisfy predefined performance conditions.
