Large Eddy Simulations of Supercritical Mixing Layers for Air Force Applications

Abstract

This report describes a study performed under AFOSR sponsorship, addressing the investigation of mixing and fluid disintegration under supercritical turbulent flow conditions. Because the study has been very fruitful and produced a very large amount of information, including major publications in refereed journals, this final report is in the form of an Executive Summary succinctly describing the results, with particular emphasis on the connection among the publications or manuscripts which have not yet reached the print. The publications/manuscripts are individually listed as Appendices, and attached to this report.
