Abstract:
The unstarted flow field in a hypersonic inlet model at a design point of Ma 6 is studied experimentally. The time-resolved spatial flow characteristics of the separation shock oscillation, which is induced by the unstarted flow, are analyzed based on a high-speed Schlieren system and an image processing method. The motion of the separation shock detected by the shock-detection algorithm is compared to the results of fast-response wall-pressure measurements, and good agreement is demonstrated by comparing the frequency components in the power spectral density contours between shock oscillation and pressure fluctuation. The hysteresis of the pressure and separation shock during oscillation cycles is observed from the time history of the shock motion, which means that the unsteady flow pattern of the unstarted hypersonic flow can be accurately clarified by time-resolved Schlieren image processing. These results convincingly demonstrate that the shock-detection technique is successfully applied to an unstarted hypersonic flow case.
