Large-Scale Streamwise Vortices in the Supersonic Part of a Permeable Nozzle

Large-scale streamwise vortices in the vicinity of a perforated wall in the supersonic part of the nozzle are studied. The governing effect of gas inflow through a perforated wall on origination and parameters of streamwise vortices is experimentally established.__________Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 46, No. 5, pp. 68–75, September–October, 2005.     

超声速气膜冷却中激波抑制的研究

针对激波破坏超声速气膜冷却的机理,本文提出了一种壁面开孔的结构,数值研究结果表明：一方面,壁面开孔的结构能使激波作用的区域壁面附近的压力分布较均匀,从而使近壁区的马赫数分布比不开孔的壁面要高,有利于超声速气膜冷却。同时在激波的作用下,冷却气体可以通过开孔壁面的孔进入槽道内,而在槽内的下游再从孔里流出,保护下游的壁面,这...     

On the choice of approximations in direct problems of nozzle design

Two problems are considered: the design of a supersonic nozzle with a uniform exit characteristic and the design of a subsonic nozzle part with a plane (straight) sonic line in the minimum cross section. It is shown how the choice of a nozzle profile approximation affects the direct solutions to variational gas dynamics problems. The nozzle profile is described by polynomials or splines (quadratic, cubic, rational). The varied variables are the profile’s expansion coefficients in terms of basis functions or the parameters to be interpolated. It is shown that a priori information on the monotonicity of the desired profile improves the efficiency of the solution.     

Fast deposition of amorphous hydrogenated carbon films using a supersonically expanding arc plasma

Experiments concerning the growth rate and quality of an amorphous hydrogenated carbon film deposited in a reactor based on the supersonic expansion of an arc plasma are reported. In order to be able to calculate the deposition rate, an existing flow model has been completed with chernical reaction rate equations. The methane gas that is injected in the arc appears to be dissociated and ionized completely. The calculated deposition rates agree well with the experimental values obtained within-situ ellipsometry. The growth rates are an order of magnitude larger than those reported in the literature. Still, the film quality, expressed in terms of refractive index, optical bandgap, and hardness, is similar to those obtained by other authors.     

Axisymmetric impingement of a hot jet on a flat plate: equilibrium flow analysis of high-temperature air

The flow structure of an underexpanded supersonic jet with high reservoir temperature impinging on a flat plate has been numerically investigated using a Total Variation Diminishing (TVD) scheme. When the temperature of the flow field is high enough to cause chemical reaction, the specific heat ratio,, is no longer equal to 1.4, nor constant. This explains the difference found in the literature between the flow properties of the calorically perfect gas and that of the chemically reacting flow. Under the equilibrium flow assumption the effect of high temperature gas on the impinging jet has been taken into account in the present paper by using specific heat ratio and speed of sound given by correlation polynomials of thermodynamic variables. The limiting case of cold jet calculation in the present numerical results agreed well with the existing experimental data. For the equilibrium jet with high reservoir temperature,T _o=1000K, qualitative support of the present result has been provided by means of the approximation theory.This article was processed using Springer-Verlag T_EX Shock Waves macro package 1.0 and the AMS fonts, developed by the American Mathematical Society.     

An implicit-explicit upwind algorithm for the parabolized Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper, a second-order implicit-explicit upwind algorithm has been developed for three-dimensional Parabolized Navier-Stokes (PNS) equations. The agreement between the results of the new upwind algorithm and those of the implicit upwind algorithm and its ability in marching a long distance along the streamwise direction have been shown for the supersonic viscous flow past a sphere-cone body. The CPU time is greatly reduced. The project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China     

Direct Statistical Simulation of a Supersonic Flow of a Binary Mixture of Rarefied Gases around a Transversely Positioned Cylinder

A supersonic flow of a binary mixture of gases in a wide range of rarefaction (from a flow with a Knudsen number K _n = 0.1 to a free-molecular flow) around a cylinder is studied by means of direct statistical Monte Carlo simulations (DSMC method). The influence of a small fraction of heavy particles in a light gas flow on the region of significant nonequilibrium near the cylinder and on the heat flux is considered.__________Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 46, No. 5, pp. 53–59, September–October, 2005.     

Numerical modeling of the disturbances of the separated flow in a rounded compression corner

Numerical modeling of the time-dependent supersonic flow over a compression corner with different roundness radii is performed on the basis of the solution of the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations in the regimes corresponding to local boundary layer separation. The development of unstable disturbances generated by local periodic injection/suction in the preseparated boundary layer is calculated. The results are compared with those of similar calculations for a flat plate. It is shown that the natural oscillations of the boundary-layer second mode stabilize in the separation zone and grow intensely downstream of the reattachment point. The acoustic modes excited within a separation bubble are studied using numerical calculations and an asymptotic analysis.
