Study on Collision Process of Opposing Unsteady Supersonic Jets and Shock Waves

Double pulsed-laser-ablation is a promising method to prepare nanoparticle composites. The backward movement of the plume after the collision with counter-propagating shock wave has been observed in experiments. In the present study, collision dynamics of the oppositely injected Si and Ge jets into a He background gas was numerically calculated as a simulation for double pulsed-laser-ablation. The experimentally observed backward movement was reproduced. The effect of distance between two jet exits on the distance of backward movement of the jet, BL, after the collision with the counter-propagating shock front was calculated to discuss the collision dynamics and to optimize the target distance for the experiment. We found that BL does not decrease monotonically with increasing distance between two jet exits, but has a maximum value at a certain distance. This behavior is discussed by calculating the expansion dynamics of an individual jet. Shock wave grows with time at the initial stage of the jet expansion and then attenuates;the density just behind the shock front for individual jet has a maximum value at a certain time and position. BL has a maximum value when the densities just behind the shock fronts for the individual jets have maximum values. This result is important for designing the appropriate distance between the two jet exits, i.e., the distance between the targets of double pulsed-laser-ablation.

Effects of Supersonic Nozzle Geometry on Characteristics of Shock Wave Structure

Interaction between the normal shock wave and the turbulent boundary layer in a supersonic nozzle becomes complex with an increase of a Mach number just before the shock wave. When the shock wave is strong enough to separate the boundary layer, the shock wave is bifurcated, and the 2nd and 3rd shock waves are formed downstream of the shock wave. The effect of a series of shock waves thus formed, called shock train, is considered to be similar to the effect of one normal shock wave, and the shock train is called pseudo-shock wave. There are many researches on the configuration of the shock wave. However, so far, very few researches have been done on the asymmetric characteristics of the leading shock wave in supersonic nozzles. In the present study, the effect of nozzle geometry on asymmetric shock wave in supersonic nozzles has been investigated experimentally.

Evaluating Oblique Shock Waves Characteristics on a Double-Wedge Airfoil

Numerical and experimental study to evaluate aerodynamic characteristics in supersonic ow over a double wedge airfoil is carried out using Fluent software and a supersonic wind tunnel, respectively. The Schlieren visualization method was also used to develop the experimental step of this study. The supersonic wind tunnel reached a proximately a Mach number of 1.8. The result got showed oblique shock waves visualization on double-wedge airfoil and the numerical simulation, the flow behavior as function of Mach number, pressure, temperature and density in the flow field on the computational model. The simulation allowed to observe the shock wave and the expansion fan in the leading and tailing edge of double-wedge airfoil. From the numerical and experimental comparison, an agreement at the shock wave angle and Mach number was observed, with a difference about 1.17% from the experimental results.

Hydrodynamic Characteristics and Supercavity Shape of Supercavitating Projectiles Launched with Supersonic Speed

A supercavitating projectile is launched underwater with supersonic speed,and then,the speed decreases to transonic and subsonic conditions orderly because of the drag coming from surrounding water.The flow regime and hydrodynamic characteristics are significantly influenced by the flying speed,the influence laws in supersonic,transonic,and subsonic regions are totally different.These issues aren’t well studied.A numerical model consisting of VOF model,moving frame method and state equation of liquid is established to calculate the compressible supercavitation flow field,and validated by comparing with a published result.The influences of water compressibility and Mach number on supercavity shape and hydrodynamic characteristics are quantitatively summarized.The results show that the flying speed of supercavitating projectiles exerts significant influences on the flow regime,supercavity shape and hydrodynamic characteristics for the transonic and supersonic conditions.With the decrease of flying speed,the drag coefficient decreases gradually,and the dimensions of the supercavity near supercavitating projectiles significantly increases in the high-speed conditions.An underwater bow shock is numerically observed before the disk cavitator in supersonic condition.However,no obvious changes are found for the incompressible water cases with different speeds.For supersonic conditions,the supercavity near supercavitating projectiles of compressible water is smaller than that of incompressible water,the drag coefficient is larger,and the relative difference significantly increases with the flying speed.For the case of Ma 1.214,the relative difference of supercavity diameter at the tail section 3.98%,and the difference of the drag coefficient is 23.90%.

Influence of Shock Wave on Turbulence in SF_6 Puffer Circuit Breaker

Influence of the shock wave on the turbulence in a supersonic nozzle was investigated for a SF6 puffer circuit breaker interruption process. Turbulence is enlarged through the shock wave. Baroclinic generation of vortex causes flow separation and broadening of the arc cross section. V-I characteristics are slightly modified due to the shock wave＇s influence.

Characteristics of supersonic flow in new type externally pressurized spherical air bearings

In order to predict accurately the characteristics of supersonic flow in new type externally pressurized spherical air bearings under large bearing clearance and high air supply pressure, which could decrease their load carrying capacity and stability, a CFD-based analysis was introduced to solve the three-dimensional turbulent complete compressible air flow governing equations. The realizable κ-ε model was used as a turbulent closure illustrate that the interaction exists between shock waves The supersonic flow field near air inlets was analyzed. The flow structures and boundary layer, and the flow separation is formed at the lower comer and the lower wall around the point of a maximum velocity. The numerical results show that the conversion from supersonic flow to subsonic flow in spherical air bearing occurs through a shock region （pseudo-shock）, and the viscous boundary layer results in the flow separation and reverse flow near the shock. The calculation results basically agree with the corresponding experimental data.

Computational Analysis of Mixing Guide Vane Effects on Performance of the Supersonic Ejector-Diffuser System

The flow field in the ejector-diffuser system and its optimal operation condition are hardly complicated due to the complicated turbulent mixing, compressibility effects and even flow unsteadiness which are generated inside the ejector- diffuser system. This paper aims at the improvement in ejector-diffuser system by focusing attention on entrainment ratio and pressure recovery. Several mixing guide vanes were installed at the inlet of the secondary stream for the purpose of the performance improvement of the ejector system. A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method based on Fluent has been applied to simulate the supersonic flows and shock waves inside the ejector. A finite volume scheme and density-based solver with coupled scheme were applied in the computational process. Standard k-ω turbulent model, implicit formulations were used considering the accuracy and stability. Previous experimental results showed that more flow vortexes were generated and more vertical flow was introduced into the stream under a mixing guide vane influence. Besides these effects on the secondary stream, the mixing guide vane effects on the shock system of the primary stream were also investigated in this paper. Optimal analysis results of the mixing guide vane effects were also carried out in detail in terms of the positions, lengths and numbers to achieve the best operation condition. The comparison of ejector performance with and without the mixing guide vane was obtained. The ejector-diffuser system performance is discussed in terms of the entrainment ratio, pressure recovery as well as total pressure loss.

Spray Atomization and Structure of Supersonic Liquid Jet with Various Viscosities of Non-Newtonian Fluids

These experimental investigations are designed to study shock wave characteristics and spray structure. Supersonic liq- uid jets injected into ambient fields are empirically studied using projectile impacts in a two-stage light gas gun. This study looks primarily at the design of the nozzle assembly, the tip velocity of the high speed jet, the structure of the spray jet and the shock wave generation process. The supersonic liquid jets were visualized using an ultra high-speed camera and the schlieren system for visualization to quantitatively analyze the shock wave angle. The experimental re- sults with straight cone nozzle types and various non-Newtonian fluid viscosities are presented in this paper. The effects of nozzle geometry on the jet behavior are described. The characteristics of the shock wave generation and spray jet structure were found to be significantly related to the nozzle geometry. The expansion gases accelerated the projectile, which had a mass of 6 grams, from 250 m/s. As a result, it was found that the maximum jet velocity appeared in the liquid jet with high viscosity properties. Supersonic liquid jets, which occurred at the leading edge the shock waves and the compression waves in front of the jets, were observed. Also, the shock waves significantly affected the atomization process for each spray droplet.

A Computational Study of the Gas-Solid Suspension Flow through a Supersonic Nozzle

The present study focuses on numerical simulation of the gas-solid suspension flow in a supersonic nozzle. The Euler- Lagrange approach using a Discrete Phase Model (DPM) has been used to solve the compressible Navier-Stokes equa- tions. A fully implicit finite volume scheme has been employed to discretize the governing equations. Based upon the present CFD results, the particle loading effect on gas-solid suspension flow was investigated. The results show that the presence of particles has a big influence on the gas phase behavior. The structure of shock train, the separation point, and the vortex of the backflow are all related to particle loading. As the particle loading increases the flow characteris- tics behave differently such as 1) the strength of shock train decreases, 2) the separation point moves toward the nozzle exit, 3) the number and strength of vortex increase, 4) the strength of first shock also increases while the other pseudo shocks decreases. The change of gas flow behavior in turn affects the particle distribution. The particles are concen- trated at the shear layers separated from the upper wall surface.

Shock Wave Spectrum Forming around the Compound Five-Hole Probe and its Influence on Pneumatic Parameters Acquisition during Subsonic to Supersonic Flow

Supersonic wind tunnel experiment is one of the important measurements for developing advanced gas turbines,and supersonic multi-hole probes are sophisticated tools to measure pneumatic parameters in such experiments.However,shock waves form around the probe head in supersonic flow,which affect the accuracy of results.In this study,a supersonic five-hole probe is selected as the research object.Firstly,a compound five-hole pressure-temperature probe was designed and produced with 3D-printing technology.Then,the shock wave spectrum was numerically calculated by three methods,which were the Mach number,density gradient,and shock function;in contrast to the other two methods,the shock function could accurately identify the types and ranges of shock and expansion waves.The results show that a strong shock wave is formed at the front section of the probe head,and the shock wave generated around the pressure measuring tube affects the total pressure and Mach number of the flow field,which causes the increase of entropy.The intensity of the shock wave at the head of the pressure measuring tube is the largest,causing a decrease in the total pressure around the flow field.Afterwards,to reduce the calculation errors caused by neglecting the compressibility of gases and the entropy increase,a gas compression factor δ_(s) was introduced.It is proved that the error of the calculated pneumatic parameters is less than 5% and 10% in subsonic and supersonic condition,respectively,with the gas compression factor considered.The research results of this paper provide theoretical reference for the design and use of pneumatic probes during subsonic to supersonic flow.

Application of an Analytical Method to Locate a Mixing Plane in a Supersonic Compressor

In order to achieve greater pressure ratios, compressor designers have the opportunity to use transonic configurations. In the supersonic part of the incoming flow, shock waves appear in the front part of the blades and propagate in the upstream direction. In case of multiple blade rows, steady simulations have to impose an azimuthal averaging （mixing plane） which prevents these shock waves to extend upstream. In the present paper, several mixing plane locations are numerically tested and compared in a supersonic configuration. An analytical method is used to describe the shock pattern. It enables to take a critical look at the CFD （computational fluid dynamics） steady results. Based on this method, the shock losses are also evaluated. The good agreement between analytical and numerical values shows that this method can be useful to wisely forecast the mixing plane location and to evaluate the shift in performances due to the presence of the mixing plane.

Behavior of Shock Waves Formed by Unsteady Supersonic Jet Injected into Cell

The unsteady behavior of flow driven by a jet suddenly injected into a cell is numerically studied by solving the axisymmelric two-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The system of the calculation is a model of the laser ablation of a certain duration followed by a discharging process through the exit hole at the down- stream end of the cell. In the calculations, the contour of the cell is changed while other parameters such as the Mach number of the jet, its duration, and the diameter of the cell exit are fixed. Monitoring the velocity at the exit hole is used to investigate the influence of the shape on the interaction between the shock wave and the jet. As the result, it was found that the velocity peak value and its arrival time at the downstream end of the cell exit are determined by the diameter of the cell.

Analysis of the Oscillatory Flows of Multiple Shock Waves in a Constant Area Duct

The oscillatory response of multiple shock waves to downstream perturbations in a supersonic flow is studied numerically in a rectangular duct.Multiple shock waves are formed inside the duct at a shock Mach number of 1.75.The duct has an exit height of H,and the effect of duct resonance on multiple shock oscillations is investigated by attaching exit ducts of lengths 0H,50H,and 150H.The downstream disturbance frequency varied from 10 Hz to 200 Hz to explore the oscillation characteristics of the multiple shock waves.The oscillatory response of shock waves under self-excited and forced oscillation conditions are analyzed in terms of wall static pressure,shock train leading-edge location,shock train length,and the size of the separation bubble.The extent of the initial shock location increases with an increase in exit duct length for the self-excited oscillation condition.The analysis of the shock train leading edge and the spectral analysis of wall static pressure variations are conducted.The variation in the shock train length is analyzed using the pressure ratio method for self-excited as well as forced oscillations.The RMS amplitude of the normalized shock train length(ζ_(ST))increases with an increase in the exit duct length for the self-excited oscillation condition.When the downstream perturbation frequency is increased,ζ_(ST)is decreased for exit duct configurations.For all exit duct designs and downstream forcing frequencies,the size of the separation bubble grows and shrinks during the shock oscillations,demonstrating the dependence on duct resonance and forced oscillations.

Experimental Investigation on Airfoil Shock Control by Plasma Aerodynamic Actuation

An experimental investigation on airfoil （NACA64-215） shock control is performed by plasma aerodynamic actuation in a supersonic tunnel （Ma -= 2）. The results of schlieren and pressure measurement show that when plasma aerodynamic actuation is applied, the position moves forward and the intensity of shock at the head of the airfoil weakens. With the increase in actuating voltage, the total pressure measured at the head of the airfoil increases, which means that the shock intensity decreases and the control effect increases. The best actuation effect is caused by upwind-direction actuation with a magnetic field, and then downwind-direction actuation with a magnetic field, while the control effect of aerodynamic actuation without a magnetic field is the most inconspicuous. The mean intensity of the normal shock at the head of the airfoil is relatively decreased by 16.33%, and the normal shock intensity is relatively reduced by 27.5% when 1000 V actuating voltage and upwind-direction actuation are applied with a magnetic field. This paper theoretically analyzes the Joule heating effect generated by DC discharge and the Lorentz force effect caused by the magnetic field. The discharge characteristics are compared for all kinds of actuation conditions to reveal the mechanism of shock control by plasma aerodynamic actuation.

Influence of shock wave impinging region on supersonic film cooling

Shock waves can significantly affect the film cooling for supersonic flow and shock waves may have different influence when impinging in different regions.The present study numerically compared the results of shock wave impinging in three different regions and analyzed the effect of impinging region.The shock wave generators were located at x/s=5,25,45 with 4°,7°and 10°shock wave incidence.The mainstream Mach number was 3.2 and the coolant Mach number was 1.2 or 1.5.The numerical results illustrated that the shock wave impinged in the further upstream region led to a larger high-pressure region and a larger vortex in the boundary layer.Moreover,placing the shock wave generator upstream resulted in the lower mass fraction of coolant in the downstream region.The velocity in the upstream part of the cooling layer was lower than the midstream and downstream part,which resulted in the less ability to resist the shock wave impingement.Therefore,the upstream impingement deteriorated the cooling performance to a greater extent.The study also manifested that the stronger shock wave had a larger effect on supersonic film cooling.Increasing the coolant inlet Mach number can increase the blowing ratio and reduce the mixing,which was of benefit to improve cooling effect.

Hysteretic Phenomenon of Shock Wave in a Supersonic Nozzle

In recent years, hysteretic phenomena in fluid flow systems drew attention for their great variety of industrial and engineering applications. When the high-pressure gas is exhausted to atmosphere from the nozzle exit, the expanded supersonic jet with the Mach disk is formed at a specific condition. In two-dimensional expanded supersonic jet, the hysteresis phenomenon for the reflection type of shock wave is occurred under the quasi-steady flow and the transitional pressure ratio between the regular reflection and Mach reflection is affected by this phe- nomenon. However, so far, there are very few researches for the hysteretic phenomenon of shock wave in a supersonic internal flow and the phenomenon has not been investigated satisfactorily. The present study was concemed with the experimental and numerical investigations of hysteretic phenomena of shock wave in a supersonic nozzle, and discussed the relationship between hysteresis phenomenon and rate of the change of pressure ratio with time.
