  • Patent number: 8322144
    Abstract: An annular cowl for a turbomachine nozzle, the cowl including a plurality of patterns arranged to extend a trailing edge of the cowl and circumferentially spaced apart from one another. Each pattern has an outline of substantially polygonal shape with a base formed by a portion of the trailing edge of the cowl and at least one vertex that is spaced downstream from the base and that is connected thereto by lateral edges, and in each of its lateral edges, each pattern includes at least one fin, each fin being inclined radially relative to the pattern in a plane that is inclined at an angle lying in the range 0° to 45° relative to a radial direction.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7600384
    Abstract: The invention relates to an exhaust nozzle for a bypass turbomachine, the nozzle comprising a central body, a primary cowl surrounding the central body to define a primary channel, and a secondary cowl surrounding the primary cowl to define a secondary annular channel, the secondary cowl comprising a stationary portion and a movable portion disposed to extend the stationary portion and capable of moving longitudinally upstream and downstream relative to the stationary portion and relative to the primary cowl so as to vary the exhaust section and/or the throat section of the nozzle, the stationary portion of the secondary cowl presenting a plurality of spaced-apart repetitive patterns disposed extending its trailing edge, and the movable portion of the secondary cowl including in its outside surface a plurality of indentations of shapes complementary to the patterns of the stationary portion.

  • Publication number: 20090084111
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cowl for a turbomachine nozzle, the cowl including a plurality of repetitive patterns disposed to extend a trailing edge of said cowl and spaced circumferentially apart from one another. Each pattern is in the form of a quadrilateral having a base that is formed by a portion of the trailing edge of the cowl and two vertices that are spaced downstream from the base and that are connected thereto via two sides, each side having the shape of a parabola. Each pattern is asymmetrical relative to a midplane of the pattern containing a longitudinal axis of said cowl, and it comprises a first portion inclined radially towards the inside of the cowl, and a second portion inclined radially towards the outside of the cowl.
