Abstract

In this paper, the supersonic chemically reacting mixing layer is simulated with the third order ENN scheme, based on the Navier-Stokes equations, containing transport equations of all species. The numerical results show that the thickness of mixing layer increases gradually along the flow direction, and that the Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities may not exist in mixing layer flows.
