Aerothermodynamic comparison of two- and three-dimensional rarefied hypersonic cavity flow

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Hypersonic flow over two-and three-dimensional rectangular cavities at different lengthto-depth (L/D) ratio are performed using the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. The work focuses on the impact on the aerodynamic surface quantities due to variations in the length-to-depth ratio and cavity three-dimensional effects. The analysis showed that the aerodynamic quantities acting on the cavity surface depends heavily on the three-dimensional flow characteristics as well as the cavity L/D ratio. Furthermore, two-dimensional cavity study over-predict heat and pressure loads, with these being several times larger than those observed for a three-dimensional cavity.
