Due to their low-attitude and relatively low-speed fight profiles, helicopters are subjected to
serious threats from radio, infrared (IR), visual, and aural detection and tracking. Among …

The turbine-based combined cycle (TBCC) engine, as a hypersonic air-breathing propulsion
system, involves the transition between multiple bypasses during flight. During the transition …

The flow in the initial region of two jets, namely, a circular orifice jet and a lobed orifice jet, is
considered in the present paper. The role played by the Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) azimuthal …

Two configurations of circularly arranged alternating-lobe nozzles were adopted to form
lobed mixers with/without a mixing duct. The jet mixing of each mixer was numerically …

When the multimode and multibypass turbine-based combined cycle (TBCC) engine
performs mode transition, it involves switching between multiple bypasses. During the …

Achieving mixing and combustion augmentation of air and rocket exhaust gases become a
crucial issue in RBCC ejector mode, in which the mixer is an effective way to improve mixing …

The power coefficient of the horizontal axis tidal turbine (HATT) is limited to 0.593 by the
Betz limitation, however, the turbine's efficiency can be improved by incorporating a diffuser …

The study of interaction between shock wave and mixing layer commonly existed in rocket
based combined cycle engine is of profound significance for mixing enhancement in …

The changes in the flow field and combustion characteristics induced by the mode transition
process of a turbine-based combined cycle (TBCC) engine may lead to failure of the mode …

The lobed nozzle is usually used in the exhaust system of military helicopters to improve
survivability. The thermal and flow characteristics of the lobed mixer with and without the …
