Abstract
An exhaust nozzle for use in a gas turbine engine comprises a flow body for receiving exhaust gas from the turbine engine and includes a leading edge and a trailing edge. The leading edge connects with the gas turbine engine such that the flow body surrounds a centerline of the engine. The trailing edge comprises a serrated portion and a non-serrated portion. The serrated portion is formed from a plurality of tabs for mixing exhaust gas exiting the flow body with gases passing by an exterior of the flow body. The non-serrated portion is positioned along a lower portion of the trailing edge with respect to the engine centerline.
