The pressure and temperature distributions on the surface of a model of serpentine twodimensional(2D)nozzle exhaust system were measured
and its infrared radiation(IR) intensity on the side
lower and upper detection planes were also measured; these results were compared with those of a relevant axisymmetric exhaust system. The results showed that
the radiation intensity of serpentine 2D nozzle exhaust system on the upper detection plane was much higher than that on other two planes
with the maximum value at angle 10°; compared with axisymmetric exhaust system
the radiation intensity of serpentine 2-D nozzle exhaust system reduced by 75.5% at angle 0°
and 57.6%
50.9% and 17.3% at angle 90° respectively on the side
