Detailed flow physics of the supersonic jet interaction flow field

The jet interaction flow field is the name given to the fluid dynamics phenomenon produced by a jet exhausting in a cross flow. This flow field can be found in several technological applications and, due to the presence of separated flows, vortical motions, turbulence, and, if the flow is supersonic shocks and expansion fans, is a formidable fluid dynamics problem. The AGARD conference proceedings 1 give an ample and detailed review of the range of possible applications. Examples range from the low-speed regimes of a chimney plume in a cross flow to the very high-speed regimes of scramjet combustion and missile control systems, from the low mass flow cases of boundary layer control systems and gas-turbine blade cooling to the high mass flow cases of a landing V/STOL vehicle. The basic problem of a fluid injected into a cross flow has several variables depending on its intended application: injector yaw and pitch angle, jet flow conditions subsonic, sonic, and supersonic, freestream conditions subsonic, supersonic, laminar, and turbulent, not to mention the phase and the chemical composition of the injectant single or multiphase, nonreacting or reacting mixture, etc..
