Abstract

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of shockwave turbulent boundary layer interactions using different turbulence modeling including Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) with different closures (Menter's <i>k</i>-ω-SST, and Spalart-Allmaras) have been investigated. The objective of the study is to assess the capability of current CFD codes, Ansys Fluent and STARCCM, to model hypersonic flow over a large hollow cylinder flare for Mach 6 with Re<sub>∞</sub> = 5.33 × 10<sup>7</sup> The results of heat transfer and pressure data over the surface are presented for two-dimensional, axisymmetric, and three-dimensional RANS models using experimental data of LENS II high Reynolds number shock/Ludweig tunnel at the CUBRC center. Effects of properties of real gas, perfect gas, and different types of mesh have been considered for the assessment.
