HIGH SPEED FLOW

Super/Hypersonic Inviscid Flow Around Real Configurations


This package was developed to compute the inviscid super/hypersonic flow field about complex vehicle geometries accurately and efficiently. A second-order accurate finite difference scheme is used to integrate the three-dimensional Euler equations in regions of continuous flow, while all shock waves are computed as discontinuities via the Rankine-Hugoniot jump conditions. This package has the ability to compute blunt nose entropy layers in detail. Real gas effects for equilibrium air are included using curve fits of Mollier charts. This package can be a very useful tool in the design and analysis of high speed vehicles such as supersonic aircraft, hypersonic transports, and re-entry spacecraft (shuttle orbiter).
