Recent advances in jet ejectors operating under static conditions have produced high thrust augmentation that is feasible for application to V/STOL flight. However, because of (a) loss in augmentation in duct flow, (b) ramjet effect, and (c) space limitations, high performance and compactness are required in the design of thrust-augmenting ejectors for V/STOL aircraft. An analytical inverse approach is presented in which the pressure distribution along the diffuser wall of an ejector is defined for a given entrance flow condition and the contour of the desired diffuser wall is determined by using a finite difference technique. The prescribed pressure distribution is first optimized by a modified Stratford criterion for incipient separation of turbulent boundary layers; this optimization makes it applicable to compressible two-dimensional and axisymmetric flows.
