Interaction of Oblique Shocks and Laminar Shear Layers

Interaction of Synthetic Jets with Laminar and Turbulent Boundary Layers

The interaction between circular synthetic jets and flat-plate laminar/turbulent boundary layers is investigated using CFD simulations in this study. For turbulent boundary layer simulations, large eddy simulation (LES) is applied so as to obtain more accurate flow details. The simulation results are validated using both existing experimental data and numerical results obtained from other resea...

Plasma and Mhd Control of Oblique Shocks

The paper reviews recent studies of supersonic/hypersonic flow and shock wave control using plasma energy addition and magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), focusing on the work by the Princeton University group and their collaborators. Applications include sonic boom mitigation and optimization of scramjet inlets. Experimental and computational studies of interaction of oblique shocks with laser-generat...

Numerical and Experimental Study of Soil-structure Interaction in Structures Resting on Loose Soil Using Laminar Shear Box

In the present work, the effect of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) in low frequency structures resting on loose soil, through numerical modelling and shaking table tests have been studied. In theoretical studies two types of models namely fixed base and flexible base structure were subjected to three selected earthquake records. Nonlinear dynamic analysis was employed for all of the numerical ...

Oblique radiative shocks, including their interactions with nonradiative polytropic shocks

Non-linear Particle Acceleration in Oblique Shocks

The solution of the non-linear diffusive shock acceleration problem, where the pressure of the non-thermal population is sufficient to modify the shock hydrodynamics, is widely recognized as a key to understanding particle acceleration in a variety of astrophysical environments. We have developed a Monte Carlo technique for self-consistently calculating the hydrodynamic structure of oblique, st...
