Interaction between the unsteady boundary layer and inviscid hot flow in a shock tube
Abstract
A numerical calculation of the flow in a low-pressure shock tube is presented taking into account the evolution of the hot flow quantities due to mutual interaction between the boundary layer and the inviscid hot flow. This allows a better knowledge of the unsteady evolution of the hot flow, including the distribution of all parameters at the limiting regime and particularly the values of the maximum separation distance and test time. Computational results, with argon as the driven gas, are in agreement with different experimental results.
