A viscous-inviscid interaction method for ejectors having two primary jetsA viscous-inviscid interaction methodology is developed for evaluating the performance of two-dimensional incompressible flow ejectors that utilize two primary jets. In this method, the inviscid portion of the flow field, which contains the ambient fluid drawn into the device, is modeled using a higher-order panel method. The viscous region, which contains the turbulent jets, is described by an integral method. The viscous and inviscid solutions are matched together in an iterative process that simulates the interaction between the jets and the ambient fluid. The model is applied to a variety of parametric and optimization studies that illustrate the connection between the details of the ejector geometry and the level of thrust augmentation. The advantages of a dual-jet configuration are assessed through comparison with similar calculations for an otherwise identical single-jet ejector.
