Unsteady Motion of Shock Waves in Two Dimensional Transonic Channel Flows.

Abstract

Two dimensional unsteady transonic channel flow with a shock wave is considered for the so-called slowly varying time regime. Solutions are studied for two specific cases within this general time regime, the cases corresponding to small and large amplitude shock wave motions. For the large amplitude case, conditions are considered under which the shock wave travels upstream of the throat, disappears, and then reforms at the throat. A unified solution which covers both cases is developed. Numerical results are presented. A short discussion of shock induced separation in unsteady flows is given. (Author)
