NUMERICAL-SOLUTION OF 2-DIMENSIONAL TURBULENT BLUNT BODY FLOWS WITH AN IMPINGING SHOCK

An implicit finite-difference method has been developed to compute two-dimensional, turbulent, blunt-body flows with an impinging shock wave. The complete timeaveraged Navier-Stokes equations are solved with algebraic eddy viscosity and turbulent Prandtl number models employed for shear stress and heat flux. The irregular-shaped bow shock is treated as a discontinuity across which the Rankine-Hugoniot equations are applied. A Type III turbulent shock interference flowfield has been computed and the numerical results compare favorably with existing experimental data. © 1979 American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc., All rights reserved.
