Abstract:This work presents a numerical analysis of the gas dynamic problem of localized and steady energy addition to uniform high-speed airflows. Firstly, the general effects caused by a localized energy deposition on the flow were investigated, then an extensive parametric analysis concerning the effects of energy deposition rate and dispersion for different free stream flow speeds was performed. As a general result, localized and steady energy deposition generates compression waves and constant property flow stream… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
