Popis: The paper presents the numerical simulations results in order to figure out the influence of the wall surface roughness on gas-dynamic processes inside the supersonic ejector. For these purposes two commercial CFD-solvers (Star-CCM+ and Fluent) were used. A detailed comparative study of the built-in tools and approaches in both CFD-packages for evaluation of surface roughness effects on the logarithmic law velocity distribution inside the boundary layer is carried out. Influence of ejector surface roughness is compared with the influence of the backpressure. It is found out that either increasing the backpressure behind the ejector or increasing the surface roughness height, the appearance section of a pressure shock is displaced upstream (closer to the primary nozzle). The numerical simulations results of the ejector with rough walls in both CFD-solvers are well quantitative agreed between each other in terms of the mass flow rates and are well qualitative consistent in terms of the local flow parameters...
