In order to clarify the effects of width of skirted mixer on flow field
streamwise vorticities
thermal mixing efficiency
total-pressure recovery factor
average speed and speed factor as well as temperature evenness of outlet of mixing diffuser
different widths of skirted mixer were studied quantitatively through the three-dimensional numerical simulations based on Navier-Stokes(N-S) equations
and the principle of effects on aerothermodynamic performance was obtained. Results show that
when width of skirted mixer varies from 40mm to 130mm
stream-wise vorticities increase at the outlet of mixing diffuser with the growing width
and the flow mixing of internal and external bypass can be promoted. Thermal mixing efficiency firstly increases and then decreases as the width increases
and the total-pressure recovery coefficient linearly decreases as the width increases generally. The average speed and speed factor of outlet of mixing diffuser linearly decrease as the width increases
and the temperature evenness of outlet of mixing diffuser increases with the growing width.
