The reactive fluid dynamics of transonic flows in nozzles is an important area of experimental and theoretical research. This paper consists of two parts. In the first part an algorithm for the solution of the Euler Equations in conservative form is discussed which simplifies a generalization of Murman Scheme [1] that is presented in Reference [2]. Chattot’s work is discussed and calculations for flows with shocks are presented. In the second part, transonic flows with friction, heat addition and dissipation is considered. Specific attention is given to detonations with one-step Arrhenius chemistry. A part of this study is to understand the interaction between friction and transonic flow with combustion. The details of the numerical algorithms will be presented along with validation examples from the literature.

0 Introduction

Numerical solution of Euler equations in conservative form is discussed in Reference [2] using a generalization of Murman Scheme [1]. In [3], Chattot constructed four operators for subsonic, supersonic, sonic and shock points using eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Jacobian matrix and the compatibility relations to solve the conservation laws of a perfect gas in a convergent divergent nozzle. In this paper, a simplified scheme is introduced and the calculations for flows with shocks are presented. In the second part of the paper, compressible flow with friction and heat addition is considered followed by steady and unsteady detonation.

1.1 Transonic Flow Examples and Comparison with Lax-Wendroff Method

A first validation test case shows the sharpness of

the shock, correct location (x=0.82) and flow through the sonic point, see Fig. 4.

Examples in 2D for transonic flow over a thin parabolic arc at incidentM= 0.675 andM= 1.4 are in good agreement with Ni’s, who used second order accurate Lax-Wendroff scheme [4]. In Fig. 5 an Oswatitsch-Zeirep singularity at the root of the shock is observed. The present method shows better resolution of this feature and a sharper shock with higher peak than Lax-Wendroff scheme.

In Fig.6, a grid refinement study is shown in the case of flow over a thin parabolic arc.

Numerical cases for 2D transonic flow over a circular cylinder are also considered. Comparison with the results of 2-step Lax-Wendroff is shown in Fig.7. The numerical results are in good agreement with the literature [5].

It should be remarked that in the two dimensional calculations, the present scheme is used only in the flow direction, while centered differences, augmented with artificial viscosity, are used for the lateral direction.

1.2 Hypersonic Flow

For a hypersonic flow over a rectangular block is computed for Mach numberM=10. This flow is comparable with the example problem and results published in [6]. In this calculationγ=1.17,the numerical mesh is 88×136 in thexandydirections respectively. Uniform far field boundary conditions are applied , as well as symmetry conditions on the centerline axis. The computational domain is 0≤y≤34. The rectangular body starts atx=18 and the top of the body is aty=12,see Fig.8.

2 Compressible Flows with Friction and Heat Addition

The Quasi-1D Euler equations with friction and heat addition are given by the conservation laws for mass, momentum and energy respectively:

(Aρ)t+(Aρu)x=0

(Aρu)+(Aρu2+Ap)x=Axp-f

(AρE)t+(AρuH)x=q

For compressible duct flows with friction and heat addition, several formulas are available in terms of Mach number, the friction factor and heat addition, see Reference [7]. Examples of choking due to friction and heat addition are calculated with the present scheme, see Fig.9 and the results are in good agreement with those in Reference [7]. Although the calculation is very sensitive to the amount of heat and the shock moves to the right or the left with slight variation of the critical amount, the shock is very sharp, especially when compared with other artificial viscosity methods, for example Lax-Wendroff scheme.

3 Steady and Unsteady Detonation

An ordinary differential equation for the species, together with algebraic relations derived from the shock jump conditions gives the steady Zeldovich-Von Nuemann-Doring (ZND) family of solutions to the Euler equations. Although detonations are funda-mentally unstable, the ZND solutions are suitable, in an averaged sense, for many cases. It is shown however by several authors, see for example [8-11], that when solving the Euler equations, the solutions are predicted to be oscillatory and even chaotic for many examples. In general, as the parameterEa, governing the activation energy for the chemical species, is increased, instability increases and the ZND solution becomes less predictive. However, for sufficiently smallEa, the true solution is nearly steady and the correspondence with the ZND solution agrees very well. Detonation in one dimension is governed by the reactive unsteady Euler equations:

The third order upwinding method is compared with several ZND solutions for verification. A representative comparison is shown in Fig.13. The ZND solution is computed starting from the shock front while the Euler equations are integrated across the shock starting upstream with unreacted flow.

A Chapman-Jouquet detonation following [13] is computed in Fig.14. We compute the shock speed to bes=5.4419 which exactly matches the CJ-shock speed given in [13]. Additional comparisons with steady state computations are in good agreement with the results reported in [12-14].

The case of friction losses dominating heat transfer effects can sometimes occur when a detonation wave passes through a porous media [14]. In such a case, momentum loss due to friction can be much more influential than heat transfer effects. Following the work of [8] and [11], Fig.15 shows that a source of friction in the momentum equation causes qualitatively the same effect as higherEa.

Our computations show that friction causes a momentum loss which decreases the peak temperature and local velocity, as shown in Fig.16. Increase in the friction causing reduction in temperature was also reported in [8] and [11].

The effect of friction on detonation stability is also considered. TreatingEaas a bifurcation parameter, the peak pressure at the Von-Nuemann state is stored for several simulations as a time

series. The attractor space is then constructed from the local maxima and minima of each time series. Representative examples are shown in Fig.17. In our results, increasing friction causes period doubling for lower values ofEa, this trend is also reported in [8] and [11].

4 Conclusions

In the present work we have demonstrated a simple scheme for computing transonic flows which can be considered as a generalization of Murman’s four point operator to solve the Euler equations. We have examined several transonic steady compressible 1D flows with friction and heat addition. Unsteady flows with weak dissipation and friction have been considered in the context of detonation theory for several reactive compressible cases. Computations with higher order IMEX schemes is also of interest [15].
