Numerical Simulation Supersonic Free Shear Layers

Abstract

The objective of the current research is to study the mixing and stability characteristics of three dimensional supersonic free shear flows through a direct numerical solution of 3-D compressible flow equations. Supersonic shear flows are of interest to SCRAMJET engine designers. The successful operation of these engines requires rapid and efficient (i.e. minimum total pressure loss) mixing of supersonic airstreams and subsonic/sonic fuel streams.
