On the basis of scale model tests in two different dimensions of marine gas turbine exhaust system with infrared signature suppression device, and in the light of similarity analysis and simplified numerical calculation, this paper discusses the effects of scale factor on the flow (flow resistance), temperature (of air-flow and tube wall), and infrared radiant (of exhaust plumes and exhaust uptake inner wall) fields of the exhaust system, and accordingly estimates the corresponding parameters of real ship exhaust systems as well as presents the magnitude of scale factor impacts and the recommended values for selecting the scale factor.
