Supersonic Mixing Layer

Summary

The computational results for an unsteady mixing layer flow are presented. An implicit numerical scheme for the solution of the unsteady NS equations has been used in junction with an algebraic turbulent model. Computations were performed using both first and second order time accuracy. The effect of the grid density on the quality of the solution is examined. The results obtained were in close agreement to the corresponding experimental data. The main difference between computational results and experimental data lies in the mixing layer growth at the downstream part of the domain.
