Shock impingement on a transitional hypersonic high-enthalpy boundary layer

D. Passiatore et al.

Summary: The dynamics of a shock wave impinging on a transitional high-enthalpy boundary layer out of thermochemical equilibrium is investigated by means of a direct numerical simulation. The study found that in conjunction with freestream disturbances, the shock impingement triggers a transition to a fully turbulent regime. The recognized mechanisms in the entire transitional process are representative of the second mode instability combined with stationary streaky structures, their destabilization being eventually promoted by shock impinging. The breakdown to turbulence is characterized by large increases of skin friction and wall heat flux, due to the particular shock pattern.

Unsteady behavior and thermochemical non equilibrium effects in hypersonic double-wedge flows

Davide Ninni et al.

Summary: The paper presents highly detailed two-dimensional numerical simulations of hypersonic nitrogen and air flows around a double wedge, focusing on the unsteady behavior and thermo-chemical non-equilibrium effects. The results show that the occurrence of unsteady periodic behavior depends on the flow conditions and is inhibited in the high enthalpy case. Furthermore, discrepancies between the results obtained with different thermo-physical models are observed in the case of high enthalpy flows.

Thermochemical non-equilibrium effects in turbulent hypersonic boundary layers

D. Passiatore et al.

Summary: This study presents an analysis of a hypersonic turbulent boundary layer with a cooled wall using numerical simulations. The results reveal the occurrence of thermal and chemical non-equilibrium phenomena due to the conversion of kinetic energy to internal energy. Turbulent mixing plays a crucial role in sustaining the thermal non-equilibrium.

Direct numerical simulation of a hypersonic transitional boundary layer at suborbital enthalpies

M. Di Renzo et al.

Summary: The study analyzes a Mach-10 hypersonic boundary layer of air over a cold, isothermal wall using direct numerical simulations, focusing on chemical reactions and transition to turbulence. The boundary layer experiences dissociation due to viscous aerodynamic heating, leading to the production of oxygen, nitric oxide, and other chemical compounds.

Finite-rate chemistry effects in turbulent hypersonic boundary layers: A direct numerical simulation study

D. Passiatore et al.

Summary: The study investigates the influence of high-enthalpy effects on hypersonic turbulent boundary layers through direct numerical simulations. Significant dissociation of oxygen and nitrogen in the near-wall region due to high temperatures affects the properties of the reacting mixture. However, the statistics of the velocity field are found to be little affected by the chemical reactions.

Numerical strategy to perform direct numerical simulations of hypersonic shock/boundary-layer interaction in chemical nonequilibrium

P. S. Volpiani

Summary: This work describes a numerical methodology for performing direct numerical simulations of shock/boundary-layer interaction in chemical nonequilibrium with high-temperature effects. Results show considerable differences in flow properties when chemical reactions are taken into account, and a direct numerical simulation of shock interacting with a turbulent boundary layer in the hypersonic regime with high-temperature effects is presented for the first time.
