ANALYSIS OF A TWO-DIMENSIONAL TYPE VI SHOCK-INTERFERENCE PATTERN USING A PERFECT-GAS CODE AND A REAL-GAS CODE

摘要

To determine the complete convective heat-transfer distribution for configurations flying at hypersonic speeds, one must consider the viscous:inviscid interactions associated with the complex three-dimensional flow fields. Because of the complexity of the viscous:inviscid interaction phenomena, many investigators have studied the locally perturbed flow fields using models consisting of basic elemental combinations. By varying the relative position of shock-generating elements, Edney observed that there are six basic shock-interference patterns.
