Numerical simulation of 3D flow past an inlet model

Numerical simulation of supersonic flow of viscous heat-conducting gas past an inlet model for various Mach numbers ($M = 4$ and $5$) and temperatures of the model surface was carried out on the basis of an unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes equations system (URANS) with the Spalart–Allmaras (SA) and Menter’s (SST) turbulence model. Three-dimensional features of the flow and heat flux’s dependence on wall temperature were investigated. Comparison of simulation results with experimental data was carried out.
