several laminar-to-turbulent transition scenarios in the presence of wall heat transfer for …

The reflection on a wavy wall of a planar shock propagating at Mach number 1.5 in air is
simulated in a two-dimensional geometry by solving the fully compressible Navier–Stokes …

In this study, shock wave diffraction has been investigated through a numerical simulation of
a moving normal shock incident on a sharp-edged wedge. Schardin's problem is revisited …

Large-eddy simulations (LES) are carried out to investigate the shock induced transient flow
through a planar nozzle mimicking a shock tube experimental setup at shock Mach number …

Numerical simulations were conducted to understand the different wave configurations
associated with the shock-wave reflections over double-concave cylindrical surfaces. The …

The interaction of a plane shock wave in air with concave profiles has been used in the past
mainly to understand the nature of shock wave focusing. The current study examines the …

Direct numerical simulations of supersonic boundary layers (SBLs) over a flat plate for M∞=
2.2 are performed for adiabatic and isothermal (cooled and heated) walls. Receptivity …

A curved wedge with a specific shape is designed and manufactured to guarantee the
wedge angle unvaried during the cylindrically converging shock moving along the wedge …

Previous weakly nonlinear analyses of strong shocks in the Newtonian limit have shown that
the main characteristics of the cellular pattern of detonations, namely the network of triple …
