Numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations for compressible turbulent two/three dimensional flows in the terminal shock region of an inlet/diffuser

The multidimensional, ensemble-averaged, compressible, time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations in conjunction with mixing length turbulence model and shock capturing technique have been used to study the terminal shock type of flows in various flight regimes occurring in a diffuser/inlet model. The numerical scheme for solving the governing equations is based on a linearized block implicit approach and the following high Reynolds number calculations have been carried out: (1) 2-D, steady, subsonic; (2) 2-D, steady, transonic with normal shock, (3) 2-D, steady, supersonic with terminal shock, (4) 2-D, transient process of shock development and (5) 3-D, steady, transonic with normal shock. The numerical results obtained for the 2-D and 3-D transonic shocked flows have been compared with corresponding experimental data; the calculated wall static pressure distributions agree well with the measured data. The predicted transient responses of the flow to externally applied impulsive disturbance are consistent with results obtained via asymptotic analysis.
