No. 756,659 Claims priority, application Great Britain Sept. 2, 1957 13 Claims. (Cl. 18141) This invention relates to a jet noise suppressor nozzle.
According to the invention there is provided a jet noise suppressor nozzle having a plurality of longitudinally extending, substantially radial hollow lobes for the flow therethrough of hot gases from a jet pipe, the lobes being angularly spaced from each other in a circular arrangement, each lobe increasing in radial extent in a downstream direction and having substantially radially-extending walls which are corrugated at least in part, the corrugations extending substantially longitudinally of the nozzle.
Each radially-extending wall is preferably corrugated symmetrically so as to form, in transverse section, successive part-cylindrical portion. The hoop stress in each said part-cylindrical portion is preferably taken by transverse discrete or continuous local ties or struts. The ties or struts may be secured to stiffeners extending longitudinally of the nozzle and the longitudinal stiffeners may be in short discrete portions or they may be in continuous lengths.
The nozzle may be provided adjacent its centre with means for bracing the various lobes to each other. Thus the said bracing means may comprise a lobulated frame each of whose lobules extends into and is secured to a lobe of the nozzle, the frame being disposed adjacent the centre of the nozzle. Preferably the frame has a portion extending outwardly of the downstream end of the nozzle.
Each lobe may be formed longitudinally so as to have a converging-diverging portion.
The lobes preferably extend to the downstream edge of the nozzle, but the corrugations in each radial wall preferably do not extend to the downstream edge of the nozzle.
The lobes can be double-s-kinned and the skins of each lobe can be internally braced. The outer skin preferably forms the nacelle fairing line.
The cross sectional width of each lobe preferably increases in a radially outward direction.
The invention is illustrated, merely by way of example, in the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a jet noise suppressor nozzle embodying the invention, part of the nozzle being broken away to show internal stiffeners;
FIGURE 2 is a longitudinal section through one of the lobes of the nozzle shown in FIGURE 1;
FIGURE 3 is a section on line 3-3 of FIGURE 2 showing the successive part-cylindrical portion configuration;
FIGURE 4 is a section on line 44 of FIGURE 2;
FIGURE 5 is a diagrammatic side elevation of a gas turbine engine embodying the nozzle shown in FIGURES FIGURE 6 is a perspective view of a second, and preferred embodiment of a jet noise suppressor nozzle according to the invention;
FIGURE 7 is a longitudinal section through one of the lobes of the nozzle shown in FIGURE 6;
FIGURES 8-10 are sections on the lines 88, 9-9, and 1010 respectively of FIGURE 7;
FIGURE 11 is a section on the line 11--11 of FIG- URE 10, and
FIGURE 12 is a diagrammatic side elevation of a gas turbine engine embodying the nozzle shown in FIG- URES 6-1l.
The same reference numerals are used throughout the various views for similar parts.
Referring first to the embodiment illustrated in FIG- URES l-S, a jet noise suppressor nozzle 10 has a plurality of longitudinally extending, substantially radial, hollow lobes 8 for the flow therethrough of the hot gases from a jet pipe, the direction of gas flow being indicated by the arrow 9. The lobes '8 are angularly spaced apart from each other in a circular arrangement and extend to the downstream edge of the nozzle. Each lobe 8 increases in radial extent in a downstream direction, the crosssectional width of each lobe 8 increasing in a radially outward direction.
Each lobe 8 has radially-extending walls 8', 8" connected together at their outer peripheral ends, the walls being formed of an external skin 11 and an internal skin 12, see FIGURE 2. The internal skin 12 provides a passage for the hot gases.
The two radially-extending walls of the internal skin 12 are corrugated symmetrically (as best seen in FIG- URES 3 and 4) and the corrugations 14, which extend substantially longitudinally of the nozzle but which do not extend to the downstream edge thereof, form, in transverse section, successive part-cylindrical portions.
The hoop stress in each said part-cylindrical portion is taken by longitudinal stiffeners such as 16 (FIGURE 4) and by discrete transverse, local ties or struts 13. The struts 13 are of aerofoil section and are inclined to follow generally the direction of gas flow.
The inner skin 12 of the double skinned walls is braced by struts 15 attached to the longitudinal stiifeners 16 and arranged so that in conjunction with adjacent aerofoil struts 13 they form, effectively, continuous ties.
If desired, additional longitudinal stiffeners may be attached to the internal skin 12 of each lobe 3.
The nozzle It) can be attached, for example, to the downstream end of a gas turbine engine 17, as shown in FIGURE 5, and the gases emitted from the jet pipe will flow internally of the skin 12 and Within the corrugations 14.
Referring now to the preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIGURES 6-l2, this is generally similar to the embodiment of FIGURES 1-5 for which reason it will not be described in detail. In the said preferred embodiment, however, a lobulated frame 20 is disposed internally of the downstream end of the nozzle adjacent the centre thereof and has a plurality of lobules 21 each of which extends into and is secured to a lobe 8 of the nozzle. The frame 20 thus serves to brace the lobes 8 to each other and makes for a stronger construction than that of FIGURES l-S. The frame 29 has, moreover, a portion 22 which extends outwardly of the downstream end of the nozzle.
The form of the corrugations 14 of the preferred embodiment will be readily apparent from a comparison of FIGURES 8-10 and it will be seen from FIGURE 10 that the corrugations 14 do not extend to the downstream edge of the nozzle. The hoop stress in each part-cylindrical portion is taken by substantially I-shaped members 23 (see also FIGURES 6 and 7) which are continuous members (as opposed to the discrete struts 13) and which extend longitudinally substantially throughout the length of the lobes 8.
Each lobe 8 in the preferred embodiment (see FIGURE 7) is for-med longitudinally so as to have a convergingdiverging portion disposed adjacent the downstream end of the nozzle, the throat 24 of this converging-diverging portion being disposed adjacent the section line 8-8.
FIGURE 11 shows how the desired variation in the crosssectional area of the nozzle is achieved by shaping the internal skin 12 of each lobe 8. The cross-sectional area of each lobe remains substantially constant at first, i.e., adjacent its upstream end, and is then reduced to the throat 24 after which it is increased again to the outlet 25, thus providing the desired convergingdiverging shape.
The jet noise suppressor nozzles shown in FIGURES 15 and 612 have the advantage over conventional nozzles of providing a rigid, though light, structure in which the propulsive losses due to turbulence are reduced. The lobes are divided by the successive part-cylindrical portions into a number of passages for the how of hot gases, which passages are very approximately circular in section and hence well adapted for non-turbulent gas =ilow therethrough.
