Shock/boundary layer interactions (SBLIs) are a major source of flow distortion and unsteady loads in high-speed aerodynamic systems. Although their mean features are well documented, the detailed behavior of turbulent fluctuations through and after …
The interaction between turbulence and shock waves significantly modulates the frequency and amplitude of hydrodynamic fluctuations experienced by aerospace vehicles during low-altitude hypersonic flight. In these high-speed flows, intrinsic …
I am very happy to share that our latest article, “The role of compressibility and vibrational excitation in hypersonic shock-turbulence interactions”, has just been published in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics.
The Combustion Toolbox (CT) is a newly developed open-source thermochemical code designed to solve problems involving chemical equilibrium for both gas- and condensed-phase species. The kernel of the code is based on the theoretical framework set …
Hypersonic flight involves a variety of complex flow phenomena that directly impact the aerothermodynamic loading of high-speed vehicles. The turbulence encountered during a typical flight trajectory influences and interacts with the shock waves on …
