A navier-stokes cfd analyssi of the flowfield about a circular-cylinder protuberance mounted perpendicular to a flat plate in supersonic flow

摘要

An analysis of the flowfield about a circular-cylinder mounted normal to a flat plate in supersonic flow is presented. The subject flowfield was generated utilizing Navier-Stokes (NS) Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques as embodied in a developmental version of a propietary finite-volume NS flow solver. The primary aim of the study was to provide a reasonalbe degree of validation relative to the code's ability to correctly predict protuberance induced interference flowfield topologies.
