Design criteria for and applications of the vortex generator mixing principal

There are at this date numerable projects, in various Divisions of U.A.C., either in progress or contemplated, which are employing the vortex generator mixing principle. This principle is defined as the method which utilises tip vortices generated by low aspect ratio airfoils for the purpose of transverse mixing of the flow of a confined fluid medium where the axis of the vortex is parallel to the direction of flow. To date, vortex generator design criteria have not been published. Therefore, for the assistance of those individuals concerned and in the interest of the vortex mixing principle, the following material (subject to modifications) is presented in this memorandum report.

Fundamental problems of injector design

The principal control of the combustion within a liquid-propellant rocket thrust chamber is provided by the injector. Only when precise control of the injection process is attained can optimum performance, dynamic stability, heat transfer compatibility and reproducibility be provided. Control must be designed into each step of the injection process with sufficient isolation provided to insure stability. In the design of the injector manifolding, the main desire is to provide mass and mixture ratio regulation across the injector face. The design of the injector orifices must be such that this mass and mixture ratio control is retained through the orifices and imparted to the droplet sprays that are produced. Furthermore, the orifice design must control the size and distribution of the droplets generated so that combustion will be completed within the chamber. Mechanical damping devices are often required to protect the early mixing zone from transverse velocities and associated displacement effects in the chamber. Only when each phase of the injection process is carefully controlled can the design aims be reached.
