Infrared absorption imaging of 2D supersonic jet expansions: Free expansion, cluster formation, and shock wave patterns

In this study, we obtain the comparative analysis of methods of quick approximate analytical prediction of Mach shock height in planar steady supersonic flows (for example, in supersonic jet flow and in narrowing channel between two wedges), that are developed since the 1980s and being actively modernized now. A new analytical model based on flow averaging downstream curved Mach shock is proposed, which seems more accurate than preceding models, comparing with numerical and experimental data.

Shock Tube Experiment

We consider a classical shock tube with Helium-filled driver section, and a driven section filled with a He– Ar gaseous mixture of continuously varying composition. We simulate a shock tube experiment, where the driven section composition starts out with pure Ar and ends with pure He (denoted ‘ − ’), or vice versa (denoted ‘+’). The initial pressures are 2 and 0.01 MPa. Two alternate initial species compositions are assumed: ‘Molar fraction’ – a linear distribution of the molar fraction; ‘Mass Fraction’ – a linear distribution of the mass fraction. Wave patterns arising in every case are presented and discussed.

Interferometric Study

The complex flow and wave pattern following an initially planar shock wave transmitted through a double-bend duct is studied experimentally and theoretically/numerically. Several different double-bend duct geometries are investigated in order to assess their effects on the accompanying flow and shock wave attenuation while passing through these ducts. The effect of the duct wall roughness on the shock wave attenuation is also studied. The main flow diagnostic used in the experimental part is either an interferometric study or alternating shadow–schlieren diagnostics. The photos obtained provide a detailed description of the flow evolution inside the ducts investigated. Pressure measurements were also taken in some of the experiments. In the theoretical/numerical part the conservation equations for an inviscid, perfect gas were solved numerically. It is shown that the proposed physical model (Euler equations), which is solved by using the second-order-accurate, high-resolution GRP (generalized Riemann problem) scheme, can simulate such a complex, time-dependent process very accurately. Specifically, all wave patterns are numerically simulated throughout the entire interaction process. Excellent agreement is found between the numerical simulation and the experimental results. The efficiency of a double-bend duct in providing a shock wave attenuation is clearly demonstrated.
