Some Viscous Interactions Affecting the Design of Hypersonic Intakes and Nozzles

  • Chapter
Advances in Hypersonics

Summary

The paper discusses four topics relevant to hypersonic vehicle engine flows:

  1. (i)

    Hypersonic viscous interaction which can modify the effective shape of both intake and exhaust nozzle;

  2. (ii)

    Shock/shock interaction leading to very high heat transfer rates

  3. (iii)

    Three-dimensional glancing interaction causing complex separated flows along side-walls;

  4. (iv)

    Two-dimensional shock/boundary- layer interactions, caused by oblique shocks and/or compression corners, leading to possible separation in the intake and combustion chamber.

Wherever possble laminar, transitional, and turbulent flows are considered though little information is avilable for th transitional case. Reference is made to both experimental data and the growing volume of results from mathematical modelling.

The main objective of the paper is to describe some of the difficult aerodynamic problems that the aircraft designer must on the intake some of the somments are concerned with the nozzle and combustion chamber flows.
