Abstract

A morphing continuum approach for simulating the shock wave and turbulent boundary layer interaction for an 8° compression ramp configuration at Mach 2.93 is presented. The morphing continuum theory (MCT) describes a special case of Eringen’s micropolar uids theory.1 A non-dimensionalized form of the compressible governing equations is presented, as well as a set of dimensionless groups. A numerical scheme that solves the non-dimensionalized form of the governing equation is developed based on the finite volume approach, and a MCT-based method for generating inflow turbulence is presented. The numerical solver is used to solve the flow past a compression ramp and the results are compared with the experimental results of Kuntz et al.2 The results are in good agreement with the experimental data in capturing the static pressure at the wall, as well as the velocity profile inside the boundary layer and in the bulk flow.
