Three-Dimensional, Curved Shock Wave Interactions with Slender Bodies at Incidence

摘要

The current investigation aimed to uncover some of the underlying flow physics and gas dynamics that emerge when the pressure wave systems generated by slender bodies of revolution interact, with the body of interest at relatively high incidence. Computed surface flow patterns show good agreement with experimental data, providing confidence in the complex farfield flow structure predicted by computational fluid dynamics. The leeside flow of the inclined receiver was observed to significantly affect the approaching disturbance-shock, and aft of impingement a complex shock/vortex interaction develops with no evidence of vortex breakdown.
