| dc.description |
By neglecting viscosity, heat conduction and diffusion, a method for
investigating the effect of dissociaion on the two dimensional flow of a
high temperature supersonic gas stream has been examined. The ideal
‘oxygen-like’ gas introduced by Lighthill (1957) has been used and in all cases the internal modes of the molecules are assumed to be instantaneously adjusted to be in equilibrium with each other.
A brief introduction to the ideal dissociating gas and the rate equation
is given and then the partial differential equations governing the motion of
this ideal gas are treated by a standard characteristic method. Due to the
entropy production associated with the chemical reactions, analytical
solutions are not possible, and a numerical step-by-step method is used to
obtain a solution.
As an application of the method developed the flow field around a sharp
corner of an ideal dissociating gas is examined and a limited investigation
of the free stream conditions and expansion angle on the resulting relaxation
zone has been given. |
