Heat Transfer on a Hypersonic Sphere with Gas Injection
نویسنده
چکیده
The interaction of a diffusing outgas flow from a sphere nose opposing a hypersonic free stream is studied numerically using the direct simulation Monte-Carlo technique under the transitional rarefied-gas-flow regime conditions at Knudsen numbers from 0.016 to 1.5 and blowing factors from 0.15 to 1.5. Strong influences of the blowing factor (the ratio of outgas mass flux to upstream mass flux) and the Knudsen number on the flow structure about a sphere (temperature fields and the configuration of mixing flow zones) and on heat distributions along the spherical surface have been found. At large blowing factors, the injected gas significantly reduces heat flux in wide area near the spherical nose. This effect is more pronounced for light gas (helium) injection in the near-continuum flow.

متن کاملNumerical Studies of Heat Transfer on Hypersonic Blunt Bodies with Gas Injection
Numerical analysis of hypersonic continuum and rarefied gas flows near blunt probes is presented under conditions of intensive gas blowing from the surface. Nonequilibrium parameters in the multicomponent flows were evaluated for slot and uniform injections of air, helium, and hydrogen. Numerical results indicate that the most effective cooling of the probe surface occurs at moderate uniform in...

A structured-grid quality measure is proposed, combining three traditional measurements: intersection angles, stretching, and curvature. " Quality " assesses whether the grid generated provides the best possible trade-offs in grid stretching and skewness that enable accurate flow predictions, whereas the grid density is assumed to be a constraint imposed by the available computational resources...
