DNS of a spatially evolving hypersonic turbulent boundary layer at Mach 8

This paper reports the direct numerical simulation (DNS) for hypersonic turbulent boundary layer over a flat-plate at Ma∞ =8 with the ratio of wall-to-freestream temperature equal to 1.9, which indicates an extremely cold wall condition. It is primarily used to assess the wall temperature effects on the mean velocity profile, Walz equation, turbulent intensity, strong Reynolds analogy (SRA), and compressibility. The present high Mach number with cold wall condition induces strong compressibility effects. As a result, the Morkovin's hypothesis is not fully valid and so the classical SRA is also not fully consistent. However, some modified SRA is still valid at the far-wall region. It is also verified that the semi-local wall coordinate y* is better than conventional y+ in analysis of statistics features in turbulent boundary layer (TBL) in hypersonic flow.

Development of the detonation-driven expansion tube for orbital speed experiments

The hypersonic flow at orbital speeds is a fundamental issue for the ground tests of aerospace crafts.The detonation-driven high-enthalpy expansion tube(JF16 expansion tube)was developed to investigate re-entry physics.A forward detonation cavity(FDC)driver was applied in the JF16 expansion tube to create stable driving flows.The sound speed ratio of the detonated to test gas was examined to minimize the magnitude of test flow perturbations.The acceleration section length,incident shock decay and diaphragms thickness were investigated in detail to obtain optimal operation parameters.Flow visualization was also carried out with schlieren system to demonstrate the test flow stability and the effective test duration.Experimental data showed that the test flow with a velocity of 8.3 km/s and a total enthalpy up to 40 MJ/kg can be generated successfully and the test duration lasts for more than 50μs.

Effects of Compressibility and Knudsen Number on the Aero Optics in Hypersonic Flow Fields

Tsien summarized the similarity in hypersonic flows, and related Knudsen number to Mach number and Reynolds number. Recently, a path-based problem, aero-optical effect, arises in hypersonic flows, and it concerns about the compressibility and the Knudsen number of the gas flows, which differs from the Tsien's focus to some extent. In this paper, the similarity of hypersonic aero optics is theoretically studied, and both flow fields and induced aero-optical effect after flows pass through a cylinder are predicted by a well-accepted particle-based method, direct simulation Monte-Carlo(DSMC) method. The results show that the optical distortions are inversely proportional to the Knudsen number, while the compressibility plays an important role in the optical degradations.Hence, it is confirmed that the effects of Mach number and Knudsen number on the aero-optical effect induced by hypersonic flows are of great significance. Besides, since the Knudsen number is defined straightforwardly based on the optically active region, the physics is clearer than any other similarity criteria.

Aerothermal characteristics of bleed slot in hypersonic flows

Two types of flow configurations with bleed their aerodynamic thermal loads and related in two-dimensional hypersonic flows flow structures at choked conditions. are numerically examined to investigate One is a turbulent boundary layer flow without shock impingement where the effects of the slot angle are discussed, and the other is shock wave boundary layer in- teractions where the effects of slot angle and slot location relative to shock impingement point are surveyed. A key separation is induced by bleed barrier shock on the upstream slot wall, resulting in a localized maximum heat flux at the reattachment point. For slanted slots, the dominating flow patterns are not much affected by the change in slot angle, but vary dramatically with slot location relative to the shock impingement point. Different flow structures are found in the case of normal slot, such as a flow pattern similar to typical Laval nozzle flow, the largest separation bubble which is almost independent of the shock position. Its larger detached distance results in 20% lower stagnation heat flux on the downstream slot corner, but with much wider area suffering from severe thermal loads. In spite of the complexity of the flow patterns, it is clearly revealed that the heat flux generally rises with the slot location moving downstream, and an increase in slot angle from 20° to 40° reduces 50% the heat flux peak at the reattachment point in the slot passage. The results further indicate that the bleed does not raise the heat flux around the slot for all cases except for the area around the downstream slot corner. Among all bleed configurations, the slot angle of 40° located slightly upstream of the incident shock is regarded as the best.

Thermal Product of Type-E Fast Response Temperature Sensors

This paper provides practical data for thermal product values of different scratched temperature sensors that can be used for accurate transient heat transfer measurements under hypersonic flow conditions.The effect of using different scratch techniques(abrasive papers and scalpel blades)to form the sensor's junction is investigated.It was observed that the thermal product of a particular sensor depends on the Mach number,junction scratch technique, junction location and enthalpy conditions.It was demonstrated that using different scratched technique would produce different thermal product values.

A hybrid CFD/characteristics method for fast characterization of hypersonic blunt forebody/inlet flow

A hybrid CFD/characteristic method(CCM) was proposed for fast design and evaluation of hypersonic inlet flow with nose bluntness, which targets the combined advantages of CFD and method of characteristics. Both the accuracy and efficiency of the developed CCM were verified reliably, and it was well demonstrated for the external surfaces design of a hypersonic forebody/inlet with nose bluntness. With the help of CCM method, effects of nose bluntness on forebody shock shapes and the flowfield qualities which dominate inlet performance were examined and analyzed on the two-dimensional and axisymmetric configurations. The results showed that blunt effects of a wedge forebody are more substantial than that of related cone cases. For a conical forebody with a properly blunted nose, a recovery of the shock front back to that of corresponding sharp nose is exhibited, accompanied with a gradually fading out of entropy layer effects. Consequently a simplification is thought to be reasonable for an axisymmetric inlet with a proper compression angle, and a blunt nose of limited radius can be idealized as a sharp nose, as the spillage and flow variations at the entrance are negligible, even though the nose scale increases to 10% cowl lip radius. Whereas for two-dimensional inlets, the blunt effects are substantial since not only the inlet capturing/starting capabilities, but also the flow uniformities are obviously degraded.

Experimental investigation of hypersonic flow induced separation over double wedges

Flow separation occurs over the compression comers generated by deflected control surfaces on hypersonic re-entry vehicles and in the inlet of scram jet engines. Configurations like a double wedge and double cone model are useful for studying the separated flow features. Flow fields around concave comers are relatively complicated and produce several classical viscous flow features depending on the combination of the first and second wedge or cone half apex angles. Particularly characteristic phenomena are mainly shock/boundary layer, shock/shock interaction, unsteady shear layers and non-linear shock oscillations. Although most of these basic gas dynamics characteristics are well known, it is not clear what happens at high enthalpy conditions. This paper reports a result of flow fields over a double wedge at a stagnation enthalpy of 4.8 MJ/kg. The experiment was carried out in a free piston shock tunnel at a nominal Mach number of 6.99. Schlieren and double exposure holographic interferometry were applied to visualize the flow field over the double wedge.

A hypersonic lift mechanism with decoupled lift and drag surfaces

In the present study, we propose a novel lift mechanism for which the lifting surface produces only lift. This is achieved by mounting a two-dimensional shock-shock interaction generator below the lifting surface. The shock-shock interaction theory in conjunction with a three dimensional correction and checked with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to analyze the lift and drag forces as function of the geometrical parameters and inflow Mach number. Through this study, though limited to only inviscid flow, we conclude that it is possible to obtain a high lift to drag ratio by suitably arranging the shock interaction generator.

Towards an entropy-based detached-eddy simulation

A concept of entropy increment ratio （ s- ） is introduced for compressible turbulence simulation through a series of direct nu- merical simulations （DNS）. s- represents the dissipation rate per unit mechanical energy with the benefit of independence of freestream Mach numbers. Based on this feature, we construct the shielding function f, to describe the boundary layer region and propose an entropy-based detached-eddy simulation method （SDES）. This approach follows the spirit of delayed de- tached-eddy simulation （DDES） proposed by Spalart et al. in 2005, but it exhibits much better behavior after their performanc- es are compared in the following flows, namely, pure attached flow with thick boundary layer （a supersonic fiat-plate flow with high Reynolds number）, fully separated flow （the supersonic base flow）, and separated-reattached flow （the supersonic cavity-ramp flow）. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes （RANS） resolved region is reliably preserved and the modeled stress depletion （MSD） phenomenon which is inherent in DES and DDES is partly alleviated. Moreover, this new hybrid strategy is simple and general, making it applicable to other models related to the boundary layer predictions.

Progress in research on mixing techniques for transverse injection flow fields in supersonic crossflows

The transverse injection flow field has an important impact on the flowpath design of scramjet engines. At present a combination of the transverse injection scheme and any other flame holder has been widely employed in hypersonic propulsion systems to promote the mixing process between the fuel and the supersonic freestream; combustion efficiency has been improved thereby, as well as engine thrust. Research on mixing techniques for the transverse injection flow field is summarized from four aspects, namely the jet-to-crossflow pressure ratio, the geometric configuration of the injection port, the number of injection ports, and the injection angle. In conclusion, urgent investigations of mixing techniques of the transverse injection flow field are pro- posed, especiaUy data mining in the quantitative analytical results for transverse injection flow field, based on results from multi-objective design optimization theory.

A three-equation turbulence model for high-speed flows

Adding a new equation to the two-equation K-turbulence model framework,this paper proposed a three-equation turbulence model to determine the density variance for high-speed aero-optics and high-speed compressible turbulent flows.Simulations were performed with the new model for supersonic and hypersonic flat-plate turbulent boundary layer and hypersonic ramp flows.The results showed that the prediction with the present model agrees well with the experimental data and is significantly better than the Lutz's model in predicting the density variance for the flat-plate flows.Furthermore,the present model can produce more accurate skin pressure and skin heat flux distributions than the original K-model in simulating hypersonic compression ramp flows with separation and reattachment and shock/boundary layer interactions.Without introducing a variety of ad hoc wall damping and wall-reflection terms,the proposed three-equation turbulence model is applicable to highspeed aero-optics and turbulent flows of real vehicles of complex configuration.

A new cascade-less engine operated from subsonic to hypersonic conditions: designed by computational fluid dynamics of compressible turbulence with chemical reactions

By using our computational fluid dynamic models, a new type of single engine capable of operating over a wide range of Mach numbers from subsonic to hypersonic regimes is proposed for airplanes, whereas traditional piston engines, turbojet engines, and scram engines work only under a narrower range of operating conditions. The new engine has no compressors or turbines such as those used in conventional turbojet engines. An important point is its system of super multijets that collide to compress gas for the transonic regime. Computational fluid dynamics is applied to clarify the potential of this engine. The peak pressure at the combustion center is over 2.5 MPa, while that just before ignition is over 1.0 MPa. The maximum power of this engine will be sufficient for actual use. Under the conditions of higher Mach numbers, the main intake passage located in front of the super multijet nozzles, takes in air more. That results in a ram or scramjet engine for supersonic and hypersonic conditions.
