Supersonic Turbulent Flow Past a Prism
This tutorial example sets up and solves supersonic compressible flow around a triangular prism, with viscous effects and turbulence using the OpenFOAM solver. The inflow is supersonic at 650 m/s causing shock waves to form when the flow field impacts the prism, and also secondary waves following the trailing edges and …
Potential Flow Over an Airfoil
This example models and simulates the flow field around the cross section of a NACA airfoil using the inviscid potential equation. The potential field is here modeled with the classic Laplace PDE equation with a correction for the discontinuity at the trailing edge (the Kutta condition). On the boundaries, there is …
Supersonic Flow Over an Obstacle
Steady inviscid flow over a cylindrical bump using the compressible Euler equations. The flow at the inlet is supersonic with Ma = 1.4 resulting in a series of reflected shock waves as the flow hits the obstacle]. The obstacle could represent anything from a protrusion on an aircraft wing to a structural feature in a …
