Abstract
Numerical simulation of three-dimensional interaction of a shock with thin circular or non-circular – elliptic or rectangular – low-density gas channel is presented. Euler’s equations for inviscid gas are solved using 5th-order finite-difference WENO scheme. Large-scaled shock wave precursor structure is described in detail. It is shown that in three-dimensional flow internal shear layer instabilities develop faster than in axisymmetric case. High-pressure jet cumulation effect is found to amplify moderately for elliptic and rectangular cases. An influence of channel cross-section shape on the precursor growth rate is studied. It is found that the duration of linear precursor growth phase is greatly increased for stretched channel cross-section shapes.
