Abstract: | The optical rays that form the image of an object and propagate a supersonic flow over a vehicle are refracted by the density
variations. A numerical analysis of the aero-optical characteristics of supersonic flow over blunt wedge with a cavity window
is carried out. A hybrid method of Reynold averaged Navier-Stokes and direct simulation Monte Carlo (RANS/DSMC) is employed
to simulate the flowfield. Refraction factor is introduced to evaluate the flowfield’s aero-optical characteristic. The results
show that mean flow’s aero-optical effects are mainly caused by the shock wave, the expansion wave and the turbulent boundary
layer. Fluctuation flow’s aero-optical effects are mainly caused by the turbulent boundary layer and the shock wave induced
by the cavity window. The aero-optical effects at the leading side of window are caused by the mean density variations, while
the effects at the trailing side are caused by the density fluctuations. Different draft angles of the cavity window are investigated.
The airborne optical devices of supersonic vehicle should be mounted in the middle of the cavity window with a large draft
angle. |
