| Abstract: | The analysis of the process of spontaneous condensation in one-dimensional formulation is dealt with adequately in many papers. However, in reality supersonic flows are not one-dimensional. The most striking effect of two-dimensionality is manifested in two-phase flows, for example in nozzles, inclined sections of jet turbine grills and rarefaction waves. The investigation of these flows, both in the experimental and theoretical aspect, is a complex problem for which a solution has been found only recently. The results are given in this paper of a theoretical and experimental investigation of spontaneous condensation of water vapor in a centered rarefaction wave formed by flow around a protuberant angle by a hypersonic stream.Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskii Fiziki, No. 5, pp. 117–122, September–October, 1971. |
