Theoretical-Numerical Analysis of Boundary-Layer Stability with Combined Injection and Acoustic Absorptive Coating

Abstract

This report summarizes results of stability analyses performed for a slender sharp cone with and without injection of air through a porous strip. The free-stream parameters are related to the experiments in the Caltech s T5 shock tunnel. The analysis is focused on pure aerodynamic effects in the framework of perfect gas model. It was shown that the injection leads to destabilization of acoustic modes in the near-field relaxation region. To reduce this detrimental effect it was suggested to alter the injector surface shape or use suction-blowing of zero net injection. However, stability computations showed that these modifications did not improve the injector performance. The porous wall effect on the acoustic instability was also examined. It was found that porosity stabilizes the boundary layer flow with and without injection. This indicates that the injector performance can be improved, if the porous layer, which is used for the injection, is protruded downstream to cover the near-filed relaxation region.
