Abstract
Double shock diamonds establish in the exhaust of modular convergent-divergent nozzles. These consist of two shock structures; one originating from the nozzle throat and another from its exit. Analyzing the shock pattern developing for different fluidic injection operating conditions, it is shown that fluidic injection allows the rearrangement of the shock structures relative to each other. Overlapping the two structures caused large pressure oscillations in the exhaust and high amplitudes of shock associated noise, whereas staggering the shock structures mitigated these effects. The screech tone frequency did not change for all injection operating configurations, although the shock diamonds had been shifted drastically with respect to each other. Hence, the screech phenomenon is dominated by the primary shock spacing originating from the nozzle throat.
