Evaluation of CFD Codes for Hypersonic Flow Modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
The intent of this study is to evaluate existing gaps in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology with an emphasis on hypersonic flow modeling. The importance of validation is highlighted, especially with respect to the dearth of available hypersonic flow data. Modeling challenges relevant to hypersonic air-breathing propulsion, such as multi-phase flow and turbulent mixing, are discussed and areas for continued research are identified. Two specialized codes (DPLR and VULCAN) and two general purpose solvers (CFD++ and FLUENT) are also reviewed for use in hypersonic applications.

CFD Validation for Hypersonic Flight: Real Gas Flows
The aerodynamics of future hypersonic air-breathing vehicles will be greatly affected by high-enthalpy or “real gas” effects. It is the purpose of a recent NATO Research and Technology Organization study to assess the readiness of computational fluid dynamics to simulate high-enthalpy flows. This paper summarizes the results of this effort through the discussion of four test cases: a transverse...

Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) surrogates are developed to efficiently compute the aerodynamic heating and unsteady pressure loads for a structurally and thermally compliant skin panel in hypersonic flow. In order to minimize the computational overhead, the surrogates are constructed using steady-state CFD flow analysis. Unsteady terms in the aerodynamic pressure are incorporated using pisto...

Planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) of nitric oxide is used to measure a component of the velocity field for the Mach 7 flow around a cone. Velocities are measured in the freestream, shock layer, and the separated region behind the cone. The measurements are compared with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes. The comparison indicates that the CFD correctly predicts the flow over the fo...

متن کاملAnalytic Solution for Hypersonic Flow Past a Slender Elliptic Cone Using Second-Order Perturbation Approximations
An approximate analytical solution is obtained for hypersonic flow past a slender elliptic cone using second-order perturbation techniques in spherical coordinate systems. The analysis is based on perturbations of hypersonic flow past a circular cone aligned with the free stream, the perturbations stemming from the small cross-section eccentricity. By means of hypersonic approximations for the ...
