Flow separation control over a three-dimensional contour bump using jet in a Mach 1.9 supersonic freestream has been experimentally investigated using a transonic/supersonic wind tunnel. Jet total pressure in the range of 0–4 bar was blowing at the valley of the contour bump. Schlieren photography, surface oil flow visualisation and particle image velocimetry measurements were employed for flow...

Space weathering is the collection of physical processes acting to erode and chemically modify planetary surfaces directly exposed to space environments of planetary magnetospheres, the heliosphere, and the local interstellar environment of the solar system. Space weathering affects the physical and optical properties of the surfaces of planetary bodies, so understanding its specifics is critic...

The solar corona expands non-uniformly into space as a supersonic plasma outflow known as the solar wind (Parker 1958). The solar wind carries signatures of coronal dynamics as well as locally generated turbulent phenomena, which span a broad range of scales. In situ spacecraft observations of fluctuations in solar wind parameters such as velocity and magnetic field (for example, Ruzmaikin et a...

Supersonic flows around parachute two-body systems are numerically investigated by solving the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. In present study, both rigid and flexible models considered, which comprise a capsule canopy. The objective of study is to investigate effects Martian atmosphere on unsteady produced these structural behavior It was found that in atmosphere, supersonic parachutes ...

Jellyfish outbreaks are increasingly viewed as a deterministic response to escalating levels of environmental degradation and climate extremes. However, a comprehensive understanding of the influence of deterministic drivers and stochastic environmental variations favouring population renewal processes has remained elusive. This study quantifies the deterministic and stochastic components of en...

NASA Dryden Flight Research Center has developed a flush airdata sensing (FADS) system on a sharp-nosed, wedge-shaped vehicle. This paper details the design and calibration of a real-time angle-ofattack estimation scheme developed to meet the onboard airdata measurement requirements for a research vehicle equipped with a supersonic-combustion ramjet engine. The FADS system has been designed to ...

A model has been developed to simulate a fixed-exit porous bleed system for supersonic inlets. The fixed-exit model allows the amount of bleed flow to vary according to local flow conditions and fixedexit characteristics of the bleed system. This variation is important for the control of shock-wave/ boundary-layer interactions within the inlet. The model computes the bleed plenum static pressur...

over the last ten years, robustness of schemes has raised an increasing interest among the cfd community. the objective of this article is to solve the quasi-one-dimensional compressible flow inside a “shubin nozzle” and to investigate bean-warming and flux vector splitting methods for numerical solution of compressible flows. two different conditions have been considered: first, there is a sup...

The report describes the results of traverses of the boundary-layer and wake encountered in a small supersonic tunnel at a Mach number of 2.5. The tunnel was arranged with two throats in parallel formed by two shaped walls enclosing a shaped central element. Both the laminar and turbulent boundary-layers were encountered and compared with existing experimental and theoretical results. The frict...

In this paper an upwind algorithm based on Roe’s scheme is presented for solution of PNS equations. Non iterative-implicit method using finite volume technique is used. The main advantage of this approach, in comparison with similar upwind methods, is reduction of oscillations around sonic line. This advantage causes the present method to be able to analyze supersonic flows with free stream Mac...
