NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF INTERACTION BETWEEN SUPERSONIC JET AND PERPENDICULAR PLATE

The numerical investigation of the interaction between the underexpanded supersonic jet and the perpendicular plate is carried out using the TVD numerical method. The wave structure in the flowfield and the pressure and temperature distributions on the plate surface are obtained by the numerical analysis. Especially, the influence of self-induced flow oscillation caused by the impinging jet and the characteristic of impinging jet are shown. From the result of the numerical analysis, it is concluded that the pressure and the temperature fluctuations on the plate surface strongly depends on the pressure ratio in the flowfield and the position of plate.
