Description / Abstract:
Document provides information on how military/commercial/gas
turbine engine test cell/system users may benefit from this unique
Coanda/Refraction concept.
The information contains several factors which are considered
essential for understanding the practical technical aspects of the
concept. These are:
a. Operation Need
b. Concept Definition
c. Developmental Program
d. Program Results
Purpose:
To present an advanced technology in suppression of gas turbine
engine exhaust noise in ground run-up test cell/systems. The
discussion herein is limited to turbojet and turbofan type engines,
although the concept is equally applicable to turboshaft and
turboprop types.
To explain specific applications of this technique in various
types of test cell.
