I have already done a post on supersonic flow over 23 degree wedge. In that post, we were intentionally creating a situation where the shock wave would be detached from the obstacle. The set-up in that case is certainly appropriate when the shock is attached as well. However it is possible to use an even simpler set up … Continue reading Alternate Set-up: Oblique Shock in rhoCentralFOAM

Pressure Driven Nozzle Flow with Shock – rhoCentralFoam
In this post I will go over the set up and solution of a pressure driven nozzle flow with a shock located in the diverging section. This refers to the type of flow problem described by region b in my page covering stationary normal shock-waves. Here is a summary of the contents of this post: Nozzle Design … Continue reading Pressure Driven Nozzle Flow with Shock – rhoCentralFoam
Mach 1.5 flow over 23 degree wedge – rhoCentralFoam
In this post I will simulate inviscid Mach 1.5 flow over a 23 degree wedge of a finite height. A finite height is required because at Mach 1.5 the leading edge shock-wave is detached for a deflection angle of 23 degrees. Without a finite height the shock wave standoff distance would be indeterminate. Here is … Continue reading Mach 1.5 flow over 23 degree wedge – rhoCentralFoam
