Influence of ejector technique on infrared radiation of the exhaust plume outside rectangular nozzle

For accurate knowledge of the impact of ejector technique on infrared radiation of the plume, the physical model of the rectangular nozzle is established. The 3-D flow field outside the rectangular nozzle is simulated by numerical method with software Fluent6.3 pre and post the application of ejector technique, then the data of the flow fields, such as temperature, pressure and density and so on, are obtained, and according to the characteristic of the rectangular nozzle plume the computational domain of infrared radiation was established. This paper uses Lorentz linear statistical narrow-band model to calculate the mean absorption coefficient of the plume in the narrow band. Then it uses Finite Volume Method(FVM) to solve the radiation transmission equations in gas medium, and it obtains the total intensity distribution in 3~5μm of the plume radiation pre and post the application of ejector technique. The results shows that the infrared radiant of the rectangular nozzle decreases significantly by 80% after the application of ejector technique.
