Recent advances in shock wave boundary layer interaction research are reviewed in four
areas:(i) understanding low frequency unsteadiness,(ii) heat transfer prediction …

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies the flow motion in a discretized space. Its basic
scale resolved is the mesh size and time step. The CFD algorithm can be constructed …

This paper presents a study of the breakdown of the Navier–Stokes equations in hypersonic
viscous flows over a sharp cone tip and a hollow cylinder/flare geometry. Investigations are …

This dissertation presents a detailed, computational study quantifying the effects of
nonequilibrium on the surface properties of a hypersonic vehicle by comparing Navier …

Abstract At the 2001 AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting there was a blind comparison
between computational simulations and experimental data for hypersonic double-cone and …

Numerical methods are used extensively for the solution of the coupled gas-dynamic and
gaskinetic equations that describe hypersonic flows with chemical reactions and …

Numerical simulation of shock-boundary layer interactions in the hypersonic regime has for
long been a challenge, plagued by high sensitivity of the surface predictions to grid and …

In hypersonic shock tunnel experiments, the high-temperature reservoir gas expands and
accelerates so rapidly that there is not enough time for vibrational energy relaxation. As a …

Experimental studies were conducted in conjunction with computations in a code validation
exercise to examine the ability of DSMC and Navier-Stokes techniques to predict the …

Hypersonic thermochemical nonequilibrium flows over a double-cone configuration are
numerically investigated. Simulations with oxygen as the test gas are performed using …
