It is well known that the triangular tab is an effective device to enhance jet’s mixing. However, due to its protrusion nature, its blockage will induce thrust loss for the jet engine exhausts. This loss varies from 4.1% to 23.7% when the blockage area due to the tabs at the nozzle exit increases fr...
