When dealing with high-pressure releases, be it needed by some operating conditions or
due to an emergency protocol or even to the occurrence of an accident, one has to consider …

The present manuscript describes the implementation of an immersed boundary method
(IBM) into a compressible reactive multicomponent Navier-Stokes solver. The latter makes …

The reflection of strong oblique shock waves at turbulent boundary layers is studied
numerically and analytically. A particular emphasis is put on the transition between regular …

Blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) is a signature wound of modern warfare. The
current incomplete understanding of its injury mechanism impedes the development of …

Air intakes play a crucial role in the operation of scramjet engines, one of the most promising
hypersonic airbreathing propulsion technologies for efficient and flexible space …

This paper presents a vortex breakdown study due to the interaction between a Batchelor
vortex and the crossing of oblique shock waves with Mach numbers of 3.5 and 5.0 …

A computational fluid dynamics simulation of the flow in an overexpanded planar nozzle
shows the existence of Mach-reflection hysteresis inside the nozzle. Previous simulations …

Energy storage through hydropower leads to free surface water waves in the connected
reservoirs. The reason for this is the movement of water between reservoirs at different …

We are concerned with geometric properties of transonic shocks as free boundaries in two-
dimensional self-similar coordinates for compressible fluid flows, which are not only …
