Supersonic low-concentration dusty-gas flow past a plane cylinder in the presence of an oblique shock wave interacting with the bow shock

Abstract

The motion of an inertial dispersed admixture near a plane cylinder immersed in a steady-state hypersonic dusty flow in the presence of an oblique shock wave interacting with the bow shock is considered. It is assumed that the free-stream particle mass concentration is small and the particles do not affect the carrier flow. The III and IV shock wave interaction regimes are considered. The gas flow parameters in the shock layer are calculated from the numerical solution of the full Navier-Stokes equations for the perfect gas. A TVD second-order finite-difference scheme constructed on the basis of a finite volume method is used. For calculating the dispersed-phase parameters, including the concentration, the full Lagrangian method is used. On a wide range of variation of the particle inertia parameters, the patterns of the particle trajectories, velocity, concentration, and temperature in the shock layer are studied. The possibility of aerodynamic focusing of the particles behind the shock wave intersection point and the formation of narrow beams with a high particle concentration is revealed. These beams impinge on the cylinder surface and result in a sharp increase in the local heat fluxes. The maximal possible increase in the heat fluxes caused by the particles colliding with the cylinder surface is estimated for the flows with and without the incident oblique shock wave.
