The results of a computational study of turbulent supersonic flows in a channel with a backward-facing step are presented, taking into account crossflow injection of argon and hydrogen jets. The calculations are performed at Mach number M = 4 at the channel entrance under the real flight conditions, which were realized in experiments in a hot-shot aerodynamic facility. The comparison of the flowfields is carried out for jet-to-freestream momentum ratio range J = 1 ÷ 6. It is shown that the degree of mixing, estimated from the uniformity index, increases with J increasing and with an increase in the molecular weight of the injected gas at the same J.
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.
