An experimental and numerical study of a tangential gas injection effect on a flow pattern and heat flux was carried out. The cooling gas (air) was injected in the flow (air) through the tangential axis-symmetric slot on the spherically blunted cylinder streamlined longitudinally. Experiments were conducted in TsAGI shock wind tunnel at free-stream Mach number M∞ = 6, Reynolds number Re∞, Rw = 0.76×106 (calculated for free-stream parameters and bluntness radius Rw = 37.5 mm), cylinder angle of attack α = 0…30°, slot width h* = hk/Rw = 0–0.021, free-stream stagnation temperature T0 = 710 K, pressure behind the normal shock ps = 0.5 bar. The mass rate of the injected gas G* = gj/πρ∞u∞rw2 = 0…0.12. It is shown, that maximum of the heat flux toward the sphere surface could be sufficiently decreased. For example, for coolant mass rate G* = 0.03 and angle of attack α = 0 the heat flux maximum is reduced by factor of two.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
