Mean flow measurements have been obtained for air-to-air mixing downstream of swept and unswept ramp wall-mounted hypermixing nozzle configurations. Aside from the sweep of the ramps, the two nozzle configurations investigated are identical. The nozzles inject three parallel supersonic jets at a 15-deg angle (relative to the wind tunnel wall) into a supersonic freestream. Mach number and volume fraction distributions in a transverse plane 11.1 nozzle heights downstream from the nozzle exit plane were measured. Data are presented for a freestream Mach number of three at a matched static pressure condition and also at an underexpanded static pressure condition (pressure ratio equal to 5). Surface oil flow visualization was used to investigate the near-wall flow behavior. The results indicate that the swept ramp injectors produce stronger and larger vortex pairs than the unswept ramp injectors. The increased interaction between the swept ramp model's larger vortex pairs yields better mixing characteristics for this model.
