Abstract
An engine exhaust nozzle for a jet engine offers a controllable variable mixing of engine exhaust and the surrounding airflow. The engine exhaust nozzle includes a nozzle, slots at the downstream end of the nozzle, curved vanes extending radially inward from the inner surface of the nozzle and adjacent to the slots, and a cover connected to the outside of the nozzle and movable with respect to the nozzle so as to open and close the slots. When the slots are opened, near-field mixing is enhanced between the jet exhaust and the surrounding air, thus reducing mixing further downstream and the noise associated therewith, thus reducing the overall noise transmitted to the ground. When the slots are closed, the nozzle propulsive efficiency improves at the expense of increased noise.
