Non-Equilibrium Chemistry Effects on Hypersonic Separated Flows--Shock- Wave/Boundary-Layer Interaction

Abstract

This work has addressed the question: What is the effect of nonequilibrium chemical reactions on separated hypersonic flow? The model used to generate the separate flow is a hypersonic shock wave/boundary layer interaction on a flat plate in a high enthalpy flow. The flow was calculated by means of a finite-difference, time-marching solution. The results show that nonequilibrium effects can be important in the separated flow region, and that future applications should be aware of such effects. Keywords: Separated flow, Non-equilibrium, Shock-wave/boundary layer, Boundary layer interaction.
