Analysis of High Enthalpy Shock Boundary Layer Interaction Using a Shock Strength Dependent Turbulence Model
摘要
Interaction of shock waves with turbulent boundary layer can cause flow separation and high heat transfer in hypersonic flows. In this paper, we study the effect of thermal non-equilibrium on surface properties in a cone flare configuration for different Mach numbers. We employ the shock-strength dependent turbulence model proposed in our previous work and extend it to high freestream enthalpy flows over an axis-symmetric cone-flare geometry. It is found that the shock unsteadiness modified \(k-\omega \) turbulence model with thermal non-equilibrium effects gives the best match with experimental data for surface pressure and heat transfer.
