Titan in subsonic and supersonic flow

Titan in subsonic and supersonic flow

[1] The Titan-Saturn plasma interaction is studied using a global numerical kinetic model. The developed selfconsistent three-dimensional quasi-neutral hybrid model is used to study Titan’s interaction with supersonic and subsonic plasma flow. The subsonic flow case represents Titan in the Kronian magnetosphere during the Voyager-1 flyby. The supersonic and weakly supermagnetosonic flow cases a...

Achieving global range in future subsonic and supersonic airplanes

Dsmc Solution of Supersonic Scale to Choked Subsonic Flow in Micro to Nano Channels

In this study, the supersonic and choked subsonic flows through micro/nano channels are investigated using direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. The supersonic case is simulated at different Knudsen numbers covering slip to transition flow regimes, while the effects of inlet Mach and back pressure are studied in details. The inlet/outlet pressure boundary conditions are suitably implemen...

investigation of supersonic jet into compressible subsonic cross flow on the surfaces around the jet exit

an experimental study has been performed to investigate the flow physics of an under-expanded axisymmetric supersonic jet exhausting transversely from a flat plate into a subsonic compressible cross flow. the goal was to study the effects of boundary layer thickness ratio (δ/d) and the jet to free stream dynamic pressure ratio (j) on surface pressure. the resulting measurements distinctly show ...

Computational Fluid Dynamic Studies of a Solid and Ribbon 12-Gore Parachute Canopy in Subsonic and Supersonic Flow

Computational fluid dynamic studies of 3-D, fixed geometry, gore-shaped parachute canopies are presented. Both solid and ribbon canopies with a 10% vent diameter are investigated. The flowfields analyzed are laminar and compressible, broaching both the subsonic and supersonic regimes. Results presented include characterization of the local and global flowfields and the internal and external can...
