Abstract
The paper presents the results of numerical simulation of the 3D flows in a plane channel with the abrupt expansion. Sonic hydrogen jets are supplied from two circle orifices located opposite each other on the channel walls before the backward-facing step. The numerical simulations are carried out under the conditions of experiments performed at the hot-shot wind tunnel IT-302M ITAM SB RAS for the following flow parameters: Mach number at the entrance of the channel M = 3.84, the total temperature T0 = 1715 K, and the total pressure P0 = 6.5 MPa. Calculations were performed with a change in the jet supply pressure from 0.4 to 3.6 MPa, which ensures the variation in the jet-to-crossflow momentum flux ratio in the range of J = 0.7 ÷ 6. Mathematical modeling was performed in ANSYS Fluent based on the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations supplemented by the k-ω SST turbulence model. A comparison of the calculated and experimental data on the flow structure, as well as the static pressure distributions on the walls, indicates a satisfactory agreement. The calculated results made it possible to obtain a clearer understanding of the 3D flow structure in the channel and reveal the influence of the injection pressure on the level of mixing.
