Inviscid Global Linear Instability of Compressible Flow on an Elliptic Cone: Algorithmic Developments

Abstract

The subject of this present effort is numerical developments in support of a BiGlobal linear instability analysis of the compressible three-dimensional steady laminar basic flows obtained within the framework of F61775-99-WE049. The first objective becomes extraction from the aforementioned results of the appropriate two-dimensional basic flow data. The assumption is made, and is verified in the numerical results to be increasingly applicable as the flow Mach number increases, that the dependence of the basic flow on an appropriately defined downstream spatial direction is much weaker than that in the wall-normal and the circumferential directions of the elliptic cone.
