Supersonic Inviscid Flows With Three-Dimensional Interaction of Shock Waves in Corners Formed by Intersecting Wedges

Abstract

Results of numerical and analytical investigations of inviscid steady supersonic flows in corners formed by intersecting wedges are presented. Despite the great number of papers dealing with such flows many features of the formation of complex systems of spatially interacting shock waves in corner configurations have not been adequately studied. Some of these problems are investigated in the present paper by consideration of the generic corner flows which are conical and symmetric about the bisector plane of a corner. These flows are numerically calculated by solving three-dimensional steady Euler equations with a marching method. Effects of the angle of inclination of the corner surfaces to the flee stream direction sweep angle of the leading edges and the dihedral angle of the corner are discussed.
