Description

EX_COMPRESSIBLEEULER6 2D Compressible inviscid flow over a bump.

[ FEA, OUT ] = EX_COMPRESSIBLEEULER6( VARARGIN ) This verification test case studies steady inviscid compressible flow past a wedge at an incident angle of 15 degrees. As the supersonic flow (Ma = 2.5) hits the wedge a sharp oblique shock wave is formed, resulting in a reduced downstream flow velocity. The simulation uses the inviscid compressible Euler equations to model the flow, adaptively refining the mesh, and using FEM-TVD upwinding to stabilize the solution and resolve shock discontinuities.

The angle of the shock wave and downstream Mach number can be determined using oblique shock theory, Ma = 1.873526 at an angle of 36.9449 degrees, and also comparing to results from the NASA/NPARC CFD Verification and Validation Database and from the Wind-US CFD code [1].
