Abstract

A numerical study of shock-on-shock interactions near a cylindrical body, representative of the engine inlet cowl of the National Aerospace Plane (NASP), is presented. Among the six principal shock interference patterns depending upon the intersection point, noted by Edney, the most critical cases, of types III and IV, are considered in the present study. In these cases, anomalous amplifications of peak pressure and heat flux occur at the shear layer and supersonic jet impingement points, respectively. The primary goal of this study is to calculate the entire flow field numerically, capturing all the interacting shocks and complicated shocklayer flows. The finite volume formulation of Van Leer's flux-vector splitting MUSCL scheme, in generalized coordinates, is used to solve the full Navier-Stokes equations in strong conservative form.
