Visualization of Oblique Shock Waves Incident on Pointed Surfaces With Ramps

Abstract

This work presents a computational simulation of inviscid air flow, at hypersonic speed, when it encounters a sharp surface with ramps. The objective is to visualize and determine the angles of the incident shock waves and compare them with the results obtained from the theoretical mathematical relationships used to study the formation of plane oblique shock waves. The modeling and simulation was carried out in the academic version of Ansys/Fluent®, considering a twodimensional geometry.
