DNS: Supersonic/Hypersonic Zero-Pressure-Gradient Plate Flows

Return to: Data from DNS - Intro Page

The data on this page were provided by L. Duan.

This DNS case is for 2-D supersonic/hypersonic turbulent boundary layers in zero pressure gradient. The DNS was run using an optimized seventh-order weighted essentially nonoscillatory (WENO) scheme that allows eddy shocklets to be captured and ensures numerical stability. No high enthalpy effects were included in the simulations. Several different Mach numbers (ranging from 2.5 to 14) and wall-to-recovery temperatures (ranging from 0.18 to 1.0) are included. Turbulent kinetic energy budget information is also available. These DNS results have been documented in the following publication:
