A Change in the Structure of a Flow under the Action of Highly Inertial Particle when a Hypersonic Heterogeneous Flow Passes over a Body

Resumo

The results of numerical modeling of the gasdynamic interaction between a highly inertial particle and the shock layer are presented. The evolution of the shock-wave and vortex flow pattern that appears when a particle reflected from a streamlined surface passes through a shock wave is analyzed. It is shown that an essential part is played in the formation of a wave flow pattern by a toroidal vortex, which results in the “nonviscous” detachment of the near-axis incident flow from the symmetry axis and its further interaction with the outer flow and the body surface. It is indicated that an intensive pressure wave passes along the streamlined surface, thus creating the conditions for the intensification of convective heat transfer.
