Visualization of Mach 3.0/3.8 Flow around Blunt Cone with Supersonic Film Cooling

Abstract:

Fine instantaneous flow structures of different scales around a blunt cone with or without supersonic film cooling were visualized via nanotracer planar laser scattering (NPLS), which has a high spatiotemporal resolution. The Mach number of the freestream is 3.0 and 3.8 respectively and the air injection is at Mach 2.5. Lots of typical flow structures were visible clearly, such as shock wave, expansion fan, shear layer, mixing layer, K-H vortices and turbulent boundary layer. With injection, the model wall surface can be covered by a thin film layer. While no injection, the flow is similar to the supersonic flow over a backward-facing step and the structures are simpler relatively and there is a longer laminar region. Flow structures with or without film cooling at Mach 3.0 and 3.8 were compared.
