Numerical Simulation of Kinetic Effects in Low-density Hypersonic Aerodynamics

چکیده
The Direct Simulation Monte-Carlo technique (DSMC) is used for numerical analysis of rarefied-gas hypersonic flows near a blunt plate, wedge, two side-by-side plates and cylinders, sphere, torus, and rotating cylinder. Important kinetic effects that are specific for the transition flow regime have been found: nonmonotonic lift of plates, strong repulsive force between side-by-side plates and cylinders, dependence of drag on torus radii ratio, and reverse Magnus effect on the lift of a rotating cylinder. The numerical results are in a good agreement with experimental data, which were obtained in a vacuum chamber at low and moderate Knudsen numbers from 0.01 to 10.

Rarefaction Effects in Hypersonic Aerodynamics
Abstract. The Direct Simulation Monte-Carlo (DSMC) technique is used for numerical analysis of rarefied-gas hypersonic flows near a blunt plate, wedge, two side-by-side plates, disk, torus, and rotating cylinder. The role of various similarity parameters (Knudsen and Mach numbers, geometrical and temperature factors, specific heat ratios, and others) in aerodynamics of the probes is studied. Im...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Shock-Wave/Boundary/Layer Interactions in a Hypersonic Compression Corner Flow
Numerical results are presented for the shock-boundary layer interactions in a hypersonic flow over a sharp leading edge compression corner. In this study, a second- order Godunov type scheme based on solving a Generalized Riemann Problem (GRP) at each cell interface is used to solve thin shear layer approximation of laminar Navier-Stokes (N-S) equations. The calculated flow-field shows general...
متن کاملThe Analysis of Underexpanded Jet Flows for Hypersonic Aerodynamic Experiments in Vacuum Chambers
Underexpanded jets have become widely used in studies of rarefied-gas flows [1][3] and aerodynamics of hypersonic probes in wind tunnels [4]-[7]. The objective of the present study is to analyze shapes and flow parameters in internal regions of hypersonic underexpanded viscous jets, and to apply the jet theory to hypersonic studies. Analytical solutions [7] are used for estimating internal flow...

Steady Flow Through Modeled Glottal Constriction
The airflow in the modeled glottal constriction was simulated by the solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations for laminar flow, and the corresponding Reynolds equations for turbulent flow in generalized, nonorthogonal coordinates using a numerical method. A two-dimensional model of laryngeal flow is considered and aerodynamic properties are calculated for both laminar and turbulent steady flows...
