Analysis of Three-dimensional Scramjet Exhaust Nozzle Flow Fields by a New Second-order Method of Characteristics


Book Description

In this paper a new second-order numerical method of characteristics for calculation of three-dimensional steady supersonic flow is described. The method has been programmed for the CDC 6500 and IBM 7094 computers. Numerical results have been obtained which verify the second order numerical accuracy and the numerical stability of the scheme. In addition, computed results for an axisymmetric nozzle are compared with the solution obtained using a two independent variable method of characteristics program and the two results are found to be in good agreement. The numerical solution for the flow in a representative three-dimensional nozzle is presented. (Author).







Analysis of Three-dimensional Inviscid Supersonic Flow Between a Body and an Outer Wall


Book Description

The three-dimensional inviscid supersonic flow equations are solved for the flow over a body located within a duct. Numerical solutions are obtained by use of the reference plane method of characteristics technique. Results of the analysis are compared with experimental test body pressure distributions obtained with an off-design jet stretcher system. The analysis is sufficiently general so that a variety of internal flows may be predicted. A computer program listing and an example problem are presented.
