Two-Dimensional Numerical Study of the Transient Flow Conditions in Complete Shock Tunnel
In the current research, an axisymmetric model is developed to study high-speed unsteady flow in the test section of a 7 meter-long shock tunnel. The computational calculations of the shock tunnel are conducted using the Fluent CFD solver. The Finite Volume Method (FVM) is used to discretize the gov...
