A Computational Study of a Supersonic Flow with Base Bleed

Base Bleed 를 가지는 초음속 유동에 대한 수치해석적 연구

A numerical analysis has been performed to give an understanding of the physics of a compressible base flow with mass bleed in a Mach 2.47 freestream. Axisymmetric, compressible mass-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are computed using a two-equation turbulence model, standard ${\kappa}-{\omega}$, and a fully implicit finite volume scheme. The mass bleed is characterized by the change in the mass flow rate of the bleed jet non-dimensionalized by the product of the base area and freestream mass flux. The result showing that there is an optimum bleed condition with maximum base pressure, leading to a minimum base drag, is clearly predicted and the validation with experimental data shows reasonable agreement.
