Interaction between the normal shock wave and the turbulent boundary layer in a supersonic nozzle becomes complex with an increase of a Mach number just before the shock wave. When the shock wave is strong enough to separate the boundary layer, the shock wave is bifurcated, and the 2nd and 3rd shock waves are formed downstream of the shock wave. The effect of a series of shock waves thus formed...

a fundamental topic in computational fluid dynamics is the role of coordinate particularly for searching optimized coordinates. the objective of this study is the numerical modeling of supersonic flows using a new coordinate system i.e. unified coordinate system (ucs) uses moving mesh with motionless viewing window technique. ucs has an advantage over traditional coordinate systems (eulerian an...

in the present work, an engineering method is developed to predict laminar and turbulent heating-rate solutions for blunt reentry spacecraft at hypersonic conditions. the calculation of aerodynamic heating around blunt bodies requires alternative solution of inviscid flow field around the hypersonic bodies. in this paper, the procedure is of an inverse nature, that is, a shock wave is assumed a...

Objective: to demonstrate the effectiveness of combination of radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy and muscle energy technique on pain, range of motion, and neck function of the individuals with active trigger points of upper trapezius muscle. Method: Fifty-four (54) participants with active TrPs of upper trapezius muscle were participated and randomly divided into three groups. Group A (...

Understanding of the three-dimensional shock wave-vortex loop interaction phenomena plays a key role in noise reduction. This study focuses on the three-dimensional shock wave distortion and propagation phenomena in a near-field supersonic jet. Shock-square vortex loop interaction was experimentally investigated in a square cross-sectional open-end shock wave generating tube at an incident shoc...

In this paper, the behavior of shock wave discharged from the pipe end is studied. The shock wave is generated using the shock tube (MO-tube). The flow field while the shock moves downstream is visualized using shadow photography and schlieren photography. The propagation of shock wave and the phenomenon of the occurrence of second vortex ring are examined and discussed.

We are studying the problem of a stationary supersonic flow of an inviscid non-heat-conducting gas in thermodynamical equilibrium onto a planar infinite wedge. It is known that theoretically this problem has two solutions: the solution with a strong shock wave (when the velocity behind the front of the shock wave is subsonic) and the solution with a weak shock wave (when, generally speaking, th...
