Abstract
Various aspects of the problem of intense blowing through the surface of bodies have, been theoretically studied by a number of authors, within the framework of inviscid flow theory. A detailed bibliography on this topic is given, e.g., in [1, 2]. The well-known approaches to solution of this problem have a limited area of application. For example, asymptotic methods can be used for hypersonic flow regimes only at relatively low levels of the blown gas momentum (Λ = Ω2 = ϱovo2/ ϱ∞V∞2 ≪ 1). The same limitation applies to the numerical method of straight lines [2]. The forward Eulerian calculation schemes [3, 4] smear the contact discontinuity severely, and cannot handle the case where the blown gas and the gas in the incident flow have different thermodynamic properties (γo ≠ γ∞). This paper presents results of a numerical investigation of supersonic flow over two-dimensional and axisymmetric bodies with intense blowing on the forward surface, performed using a time-dependent finite-difference method [5] with an explicit definition of the contact interface between the two cases. The calculations encompass a family of elliptic cylinders with semiaxis ratio 0.5 ≤ δ ≤ 4, a flat-face cylinder, and a flat plate with rounding near the midsection, with variations in the blowing law, the incident flow Mach number M∞ (3 ≤ M∞ ≤ 10), the adiabatic indices, and the blowing parameter 0 ≤ Ω ≤ 0.5.
