Weak steady Mach reflections are numerically simulated using unstructured grids by means of either “shock-fitting” or “shock-capturing” techniques. It is shown that shock-fitting allows using coarser meshes than those required by shock-capturing, since the latter needs mesh refinement in the direction normal to the discontinuities, which is not needed using the former approach. The shock-fitted solution...
The plug nozzle is one of the advanced expansion devices proposed to improve the overall performance of launcher liquid rocket engines. The present work investigates the three-dimensional flow field generated on this kind of nozzle by partitioning the primary nozzle into modules. A linear plug nozzle has been designed together with modules having two different geometries: a rectangular cross section...
. The paper investigates the influence of the thermochemical modeling on the flow-field properties for both compressing and expanding flows. For the nitrogen hypersonic flow over a cylinder a comparison between a model neglecting vibrational energy and two-temperature Park's nonequilibrium model has been performed in a wide variety of experimental and free flight conditions. It is shown that the differences...
