Numerical Investigation On The Physics Of Flow Over A Stepwith The Effect Of Mach Number

摘要

In this research, a numerical study has been carried out to investigate the flow field characteristics of a compressible flow over a flat plate with backward facing step. Simulations for backward facing step have been done over a range of Mach numbers from 0.8, 1.0, 1.2 and 1.5 for fixed step height of 5.0mm. The results show the details on pressure, temperature and different shock waves of the flow field. The variations of flow field characteristics due to change of Mach number are also presented.
