Role of Turbulent Prandtl Number on Heat Flux at Hypersonic Mach Numbers
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new turbulence model suited for calculating the turbulent Prandtl number as part of the solution is presented. The model is based on a set of two equations: one governing the variance of the enthalpy and the other governing its dissipation rate. These equations were derived from the exact energy equation and thus take into consideration compressibility and dissipation terms. The model is used to study two cases involving shock wave/boundary layer interaction at Mach 9.22 and Mach 5.0. In general, heat transfer prediction showed great improvement over traditional turbulence models where the turbulent Prandtl number is assumed constant. It is concluded that using a model that calculates the turbulent Prandtl number as part of the solution is the key to bridging the gap between theory and experiment for flows dominated by shock wave/boundary layer interactions.

Rotated Hybrid Low Diffusion ECUSP-HLL scheme and Its Applications to Hypersonic Flows
In this paper, a hybrid numerical flux scheme of low diffusion ECUSP (LDE) and HLL scheme is proposed by decomposing the cell-face normal vector. In the direction normal to shocks, the HLL scheme is applied to suppress carbuncles, in the other direction, the ECUSP scheme is implemented to keep low numerical diffusion. The new scheme with fifth-order WENO reconstruction is tested by using severa...
