Weakly nonlinear development of shock cells in imperfectly expanded supersonic jets

Abstract Content of image described in text. A weakly nonlinear theory is developed for shock cells in an imperfectly expanded axisymmetric supersonic jet. By adopting a jet profile with a finite-thickness shear layer and a high-Reynolds-number asymptotic formalism, the shock cells are treated at leading order as a sup...
