Abstract:

By solving the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, a computational fluid dynamics(CFD) software is developed independently, which can well simulate the flow in the gap in hypersonic vehicle surface. An analytical study has been performed through this software to investigate the free stream parameters' effects on vortexes and aerodynamic heating environment of thermal protection tile transverse gaps. The results indicate that with the increase of free stream Reynolds number, the number of main vortexes increases, the shape of main vortexes becomes plumper, and the dimensional and non-dimensional heat flux increases; with the increase of free stream Mach number, the number and shape of main vortexes almost stay the same, the dimensional heat flux is increasing but the non-dimensional heat flux remain unchanged; with the increase of free stream angle of attack(comparatively low), the change rules of vortexes and heat flux are basically the same with increasing free stream Reynolds number. So we know that the depth of the so-called "dead water zone" greatly depends on the free stream Reynolds number and angle of attack.
