title = "Free shear layer development in an ejector: A jet in an axisymmetric ducted coflow",
abstract = "The time-averaged development of axisymmetric compressible gas jets{\textquoteright} free shear layer (FSL) is investigated through experiments. The research is undertaken with reference to ejectors: these devices increase the total specific enthalpy of a pipe flow and can utilise a renewable or recovered energy source. Lowering a jet{\textquoteright}s Mach number can reduce losses due to viscosity and compressibility. There is potential for ejector efficiency increases through investigation of loss mechanisms associated with FSL development. Tests characterised the FSL in terms of the pitot and static pressure fields in two spatial dimensions. A baseline experiment used nitrogen gas in the jet and co-flow, and further tests were performed with the co-flowing gas species changed to argon. The methodology and results inform future work to direct research efforts towards developing more efficient ejectors.",
