  • Patent number: 6935098
    Abstract: A nozzle comprising an inner barrel, a centerbody disposed inside the inner barrel so as to define a first channel for a primary flow, and an outer barrel surrounding the inner barrel so as to define a second annular channel for a secondary flow, the free end of the inner barrel presenting a surface having a first series of undulations made up of negative undulations alternating with positive undulations, the centerbody presenting a second series of undulations made up of negative undulations alternating with positive undulations, the negative and positive undulations of the series of undulations being of radial height that varies angularly and being disposed in such a manner that the negative undulations of the first series are disposed facing negative undulations of the second series, and vice versa, so as to generate turbulence and radial shear between the primary and secondary flows while conserving a constant flow section around the entire circumference of the nozzle.
