CFD Validation Studies for Hypersonic Flow Prediction

A series of experiments to measure pressure and heating for code validation involving hypersonic, laminar, separated flows was conducted at the Calspan-University at Buffalo Research Center (CUBRC) in the Large Energy National Shock (LENS) tunnel. The experimental data serve as a focus for a code validation session but are not available to the authors until the conclusion of this session. The f...

Some aspects of hypersonic flow over power law bodies

This study concerns the hypersonic flow over blunt bodies in two specific cases. The first is the case when the Mach number is infinite and the ratio of the specific heats approaches one. This is sometimes referred to as the ‘Newtonian limit’. The second is the case of infinite Mach number and very large streamwise distance from the blunt nose with a strong shock wave, or the ‘blast wave limit ...

Computational Studies of the Virginia Tech Hypersonic Wind Tunnel

This paper presents steady-state (viscous) and timeaccurate (inviscid) numerical solutions of the flowfield inside the Virginia Tech Hypersonic Wind Tunnel (VTHST) with a Mach 4 nozzle. The numerical solutions are obtained using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver named GASP. Comparisons between the steady-state CFD solutions and available experimental data are also presented in this pa...
