Turbomachine nozzle cover provided with triangular patterns having pairs of vertices for reducing jet noise
View Patent ↗The pattern relates to a cover for a turbomachine nozzle, the cover having a plurality of patterns each with an outline of triangular shape having a base and two vertices that are spaced downstream and interconnected by a side. For each pattern, the vertices present respective curved outlines and they are interconnected by a curved portion presenting a radius of curvature greater than the radii of curvature of the outlines of said vertices, each side being connected to the trailing edge of the cover via a curved outline presenting a radius of curvature greater than the radii of curvature of the outlines of the vertices and greater than the radius of curvature of the outline of the curved portion, and the vertices and the curved portion are inclined radially towards the inside of the cover, with the curved portion being radially offset outwards relative to the vertices.
1. An annular cover for a turbomachine nozzle, the cover having a plurality of patterns extending the trailing edge of said cover and spaced apart circumferentially from one another, each pattern having an outline of substantially triangular shape with a base formed by a portion of the trailing edge of the cover and with two vertices spaced downstream from the base and each connected thereto by a side, wherein for each pattern:
each vertex presents a substantially curved outline and the patterns are interconnected by a substantially curved portion having a radius of curvature greater than the radii of curvature of the outlines of said vertices;
each side is connected to the trailing edge of the cover via an outline that is substantially curved having a radius of curvature greater than the radii of curvature of the outlines of the vertices and greater than the radius of the outline of the curved portion interconnecting said vertices; and
the vertices and the curved portion interconnecting them are inclined radially towards the inside of the cover relative to the trailing edge thereof with the curved portion interconnecting said vertices being offset radially outwards relative to the vertices.
2. A cover according to claim 1 , in which the vertices of each pattern are situated at heights from the base that are substantially equal.
3. A cover according to claim 1 , in which at least one of the patterns presents symmetry about a midplane of the pattern containing the axis of symmetry of the cover.
4. A turbomachine nozzle having a primary cover disposed about a longitudinal axis of the nozzle and a secondary cover disposed coaxially around the primary cover, wherein the primary cover and/or the secondary cover is/are a cover according to claim 1 .
5. A turbomachine including a nozzle having at least one cover according to claim 1 .
