Abstract

The flow field resulting from a transverse injection through a slot into supersonic flow is numerically simulated by solving Favre-averaged Navier–Stokes equations with κ − ω SST turbulence model with corrections for compressibility and transition. Numerical results are compared to experimental data in terms of surface pressure profiles, boundary layer separation location, transition location, and flow structures at the upstream and downstream of the jet. Results show good agreement with experimental data for a wide range of pressure ratios and transition locations are captured with acceptable accuracy. κ − ω SST model provides quite accurate results for such a complex flow field. Moreover, few experiments involving a sonic round jet injected on a flat plate into high-speed crossflow at Mach 5 are carried out. These experiments are three-dimensional in nature. The effect of pressure ratio on three-dimensional jet interaction dynamics is sought. Jet penetration is found to be a non-linear function of jet to free stream momentum flux ratio.
