ABSTRACT

Inviscid hypersonic flow of chemically relaxing air about pointed circular

cones has been calculated using Dorodnitsyn's one-strip integral method. The c:ir

model used consists of 02' N 2, 0, N, and NO, of which the relative amounts

are controlled by six reaction equations which actually represent eighteen chem-

ical reactions. Also considered are the limiting cases of nonequilibrium flow,

namely, chemically frozen flow, and the flow with chemical equilibrium. Vibra-

tional equilibrium has been assumed throughout.

The principal contribution of this work lies in the method of solution.

Specifically, it is demonstrated that the replacement of the approximate tangential

momentum equation, and of all approximate species continuity equations by their

exact forms along the body surface I eads to a system of equati ons whi ch, fi rst, can

be stably integrated, and second, yields results which compare quite well with

those obtai ned by the method of characteri sti cs. A detail ed di scussi on of the

polynomial approximations employed in the integral method, the introduction of a

characteri sti c relaxati on length defi ned in terms of the i ni tial speci es MISS frocti on

grodi ents, as well as many new resu I ts for hypersoni c flow of a: r wi th fi ni te rate

nonequil ibrium di ssociati on abou~ ci rcular cones are further contributi ons of the

work reported herei n •

The discussion c,f results includes two cases which show the very good

agreement of the results from the integral method with those from the method of

characteri sti cs. Vari ous other cases serve to illustrate the i nfl uence of free stream

vel oci ty (54oo:s; V,,,em/sec] :s; 11186), cone semi -vertex angl e (20 0 :s; 8 :s; 45 0),

and altitude (31 km to 80 km) on the variation of all flow field variables. The

anal ysi s of a cone with constant semi -vertex angl e and free stream vel oci ty at

three different altitudes is used to demonstrate the validity, and its range, ,.,f the

nonequll ibrium seal ing law Poo ' L 0= constant.

For one case, the asymptotic equilibrium state of the nonequilibrium flow is

compared with the. results of a conical equilibrium flow calculaticn. According

to theoretical considerations an agreement between the two cannot be expected,

and this is confirmed by the comparison. Although the cone surface pressures

agree very closely, it is found that the values for the asymptotic body surface

temperature are higher than those for coni cal equi I ibrium. Both, the asymptoti c

surface densi ty and the surface vel oci ty stay below thei r val ues for coni col

equilibrium.

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Over the past few years consi derabl e effort has been devoted to the under­

standing and the theoretical prediction of the noneq"uilibrium flow field conditions

encountered in hypersonic flight. Present technology dictated the use of blunted

body shapes for reentry vehicles in order to minimize the convective "eating rate

to the body surface. Quite naturally, calculations of flow fields surrounding

hypersonic blunt bodies were of prime importance. For a survey of calculation

techniques for this class of problems the reader is referred to Hayes and Probstein

(Ref. 1). In particular, the general method of integral relations, proposed by

Dorodnitsyn (Ref. 2), proved to be quite successful in predicting shock wave shapes

and other flow field variables for certain dmple blunt bodies. Also, this method

is readily adaptable to machine calculations. The investigations of Shih, Baron,

Krupp and Towle (Ref. 3), Hermann and Thoenes (Ref. 4), and most recently,

Thompson (Ref. 5), are some examples of :nviscid real gas flow field calculations

using the integral method.

Comparatively less attention has been paid to the high temperature real gas

flow past pointed bodies, which appear to be of growing interest and importance.

Certainly the time will come when it is desirable to land on the Earth's surface

some space probes returning from for distant planets. These probes will reenter the

atmosphere at a speed far above earth parabolic speed. Both/convective and

radiative hea~;ng will occur, but because of the high speed, radiation is expected

to be the dominant source of heating. It was therefore pointed out by Allen (Ref .6)

that the shock wave sweepback provided by pointed conical entry bodies could be

used to reduce the gas luminosity grossly, and thus the total heating rote. There-

fore, be.ides being of fundamental interest, the calculation of high temperature

nonequilibrium flow past pointed cones may be of very practical importance in the

near future.

It is interesting to note that one of the first approximate theories for non-

equilibrium cone flow was developed by Chapman (reported by Stephenson, Refol)

in order to determine relaxation times of oxygen and nitrogen vibrations. Using

essentially a stream tube method, Chapman derived equations which related the

coordinates of the curved shock wave to an effective relaxation time of the flow

in the shock layer. Having obtained shock wave coordinates from experiments,

Stephenson (Ref. 7) evaluated relaxation times which agreed reasonably well with

data obtained from shock tube experiments.

If the flow field is entirely supersonic then the method of characteristics

is available for its calculation, provided that some initial data are available.

Calculations using the method of characteristics were first reported by Sedney,

South and Gerber (Ref. 8) for the case of vibrationally relaxing flow of pure nit-

ragen over a wedge. These calculations were later extended to include flows past

circular cones (Ref. 9). The authars also reported the necessity of introducing

modifications in the method of characteristics in order to increase the accuracy of

the results. This work was followed by Capiaux anJ Washington (Ref. 10) who

treated nonequilibrium flow of an "ideal dissociating gas" (so-called Lighthill gas)

past a wedge, also using the method of characteristics.

In Ref. 11, Wood, Spri ngfi el d and Pallone i nvesti gated the flow over axi-

symmetric bodies by using the method of characteristics. They employed a multi-

component gas model and included a simple model for vibration-dissociation

coupling. Results were given for flows over blunted cones and ogival bodies.

The first application of Dorodnitsyn's integral method to the real gas flow

over pointed bodies was given by South (Ref. 12). He considered vibrationally

relaxing flow of a pure diatomic gas past a circular cone, using the one strip

approximation, and constant relaxation time. He also reported that a system of

equations containing the tangential momentum equation and the vibrational rate

equation in their exact forms could not be integrated successfully. He found it

necessary to use linear approximations in all the conservation equations. The

pressure di stributi on obtai ned from thi s set, together with a set of corrected

equati ons then served to ob tai n a corrected sol uti on. The appl i cati on of the two

and three strip integral method to the same problem is discussed in Ref. 13.

South and Newman (Ref. 14), and Newman (Ref. 15) discussed a modifj-

cati on to the one stri p integral method as appl i ed to wedge flow. Instead of usi ng

first order polynomials to approximate certain integrands, the integrals themselves

were replaced by weighted averages of the integrands. According to the authors,

this procedure resulted in a better description of the flow within the shock layer,

but again, it was found necessary to integrate a set of corrected equations after

obtai ning an approxi mote sol uti on.

Thoenes (Ref. 16) used the one strip integral method and a simplified three

component air model, applicable in the oxygen dissociation regime, to calculate

chemically relaxing flow past cones. In particular, these calculations successfully

employed the exact tangential momentum and species continuity equation, a method

which the author labelled as the "semi -exact procedure". Resul ts from the two

strip integral method for dissociating flow were discussed in Ref. 17.

There are other methods which have been used for the calculation of non­

equilibrium flow fields around pointed bodies. Lee (Ref. 18) evaluated vibrationally

relaxing flow over wedges by a perturbation method, while Dejarnette (Ref. 19)

presented an "artificial viscosity" method to evaluate wedge flows with simple

relaxation processes, including various schemes of vibration-dissociation coupling.

All these calculations with simple rate processes are of basic interest and valuable

for determining suitable numerical techniques. However, with the exception of

Ref. 11, they cannot describe adequatel y a flow fi el d i nvol vi ng several si mul­

taneous relaxation processes as they occur, in air for example. Presumably, this

nent ai r model i nvol vi ng numerous chemi cal reacti ons. Unfortunatel y, the appl i-

cation of the method of characteristics to nonequilibrium flow is complicated and

computation times can be very long, even on modern computers.

No cal culati ans, comporabl e to the work of Spurk, Gerber and Sedney, but

usi ng procedures other than the method of characteri sti cs, coul d be found in the

literature at the present time. It is expected that the work herein will fill this

gap by presenting a formulati on of Dorodnitsyn's integral method for hypersoni c

flow of a multicomponent chemically reacting gas about pointed bodies. The

principal advantage of the integral method is that it reduces the governing partial

differential equations to ordinary differential equations for which highly efficient

numeri cal i ntegrati on techni ques have been devel op",d .

A detailed description of the multicompanent gas model far high temperature

air, and its thermodynamic properties, is given in Chapter II. In Chapter III, the

basic partial differential equations are presented. They are cast in a suitable

coordinate system, and the discussion of applicable boundary conditions concludes

the formulation of the problem. The solution is discussed in Chapter IV. After

reviewing the method of integral relations in general, its application to the

prcbl em at hand is described in detai I. A fj nal secti on on the numeri cal techni ques

used leads to Chapter V, which is aevoted to the discussion of the results.

CHAPTER II

GAS MODEL AND THERMODYNAMICS

2. 1 Gas Model

To determine the values of the flow variables within the shock layer aoout

a body moving in the atmosphere at hypersonic speeds, it is necessary to account

for the effects af chemical reactions that take place within the layer. Such

reactions procelld at a finite rate, but for flow about infinite cones, the gas will

eventual! y reach a state of thermal and chemi cal equil ibrium. Figure 1 presents

lines of constant compressibility factor and temperature at the surface of a cone

for equilibrium flow, using data given in Ref. 21. Although this is a purely hypo-

theti cal case, the figure shows approxi matel y the condi ti ons whi ch have to be met

by the air model to be chosen. For example, if a conical vehicle with a semi-

vertex angl e of thi rty degrees enters the Earth's atmosphere at an al ti tude of 80 km

at earth parabolic speed it is to be expected that, once equilibrium is reached on

the streamline that wets the body, the surface temperature is around five thousand

degrees Kelvin, and that a sizable fraction of the nitrogen molecules must have

dissociated (Z""J.4). This example shows that, in order to calculate such flow

conditions, the gas model representin'l high temperature air must be assumed to

consist at least of a mixture of 02' N2, NO, 0, and N. It is iJrthermore

assumed that all .pecies are in translational, rotational and vibrational equilibrium

in every flow region, which implies a single temperature for oil the degrees of

freedom. Assuming weakl y interacting particles t. .e. particl es whi ch exchange

energy only by collisions, and the collision times are small compared with the time

between collisions) partition functions may be used to calculate all thermodynamic

properti es. Thus i oni zati on, vibrational nonequil ibri um, as well as vibrati on-

di$sociation coupling are neglected. The latter two assumptions will be critically

examined at the end of this chapter.

The compasition of air along with ather physical constants as used in the

present investigation are summarized in Table I.

2.2 Partition Functions

Under the assumptions stated in the previous section, all of the thermo-

dynamic. properti es of a gas may be deri ved from its parti ti on functi on. Detai Is

on the parti ti on functi on may be found in any text on stati sti cal thermodynami cs

(Ref. 22, 23, 24). In this section only those relations will be summarized which

are needed for subsequent calculations.

The partition function may be defined as

Q = ~ g. exp (- k € ~ ) • J

(2.1)

J

where €. is the common energy of several states, and g. is the degeneracy, that J J

is, the nurmer of states of the parti cI e whi ch have thi s common energy level. In

the present investigati on, the energy may be due to the translational, rotational

or vibrational motion of the particles and, in a limited way, due to the motion of

the .. Iectrons within the particle. Assuming that no coupling exists between the

difierent modes of excitation, the partition function may be written as the product

(2.2)

where the factors on the right hand si de of Eq. (2.2) are the partiti on functi ons

associated with the translational, rotational, vibrational and el ectroni c energy

levels of the particle. For diatomic molecules these factors are:

2.3 Thermodynamic Properties

2.3. 1 _ Thermal Equati on of State

A ccordi ng to stati sti cal thermodynami cs the parti al pressure whi ch a system

of weakly interacting particles of species i exerts on its surroundings is given in

terms of the partition function as

o Pi = ni k T 0 V (I n Q)

where n. denotes the number of parti cI es of speci es I

(2.7)

contai ned in the vol ume

only the translational partition function depends on the volume V, one obtains

Hence, the pressure becomes

Since it is assumed that each species of the gas mixture can be treated as a

thermal I y perfect gas, the pressure of the mixture is, accordi ng to Dol ton's I ow,

the sum of its parti 01 pressures, that is

2: P.

where the Y. are the molar concentrations defined as I

(2.13)

(2. 14)

(2.15)

It is often convenient to express the pressure of the dissociated gas mixture in terms

of the gas constant of the undi ssociated gas. Eq. (2.14) can then be wlitten as

p=pRZT (2.16)

where R = R* / M is the specific gas constant of the undissociated gas, and Z is

the compressibility factor defined by

A gas mixture consisting of i distinct species in the dissociated state, and

of i species in the original undissociated state, requires i mass balance o 0

2.3.2 Internal Energy and Enthalpy

Again calling on statistical thermodynamics, the internal energy of a system

of n. weakly interacting particles is given in terms of the partition function as I

(2.21 )

Introducing the molecular weight and Avogadro's number, the internal energy

becomes

Using Eq. (2.2) through (2.6), and (2.23), the specific internal energy for a pure

The last terms in the above equations, representing the contribution of electronic

excitation to the internal energy, become significant at extreme temperatures only,

and can be neglected for the range of temperatures considered in the present

i nvestigati on.

In the case of a dissociating gas mixture the dissociation ener,gy for each

molecular species must be included in the internal energy. This energy term may

be expressed as

where, in the present case, j ::: O2

the undi ssoci ated state.

The total specific internal energy of a mixture of monatomic and diatomic

gases can now be written as

13

E = r: c. e. + L e? (2.27) I I I j J

The specific enthalpy of the mixture is defined as

(2.28)

and substiiutiol", of the pertinent relations into Eq. (2.28) yields, for the five com-

panen! gas mixture considered herein, the following expression for the enthalpy:

Utilizing the mass balcnce equations, Eq. (2.19) and (2.20),in order to eliminate

the molar concentrations (Y 02)0 and (Y N2)0' and also considering that in the

adopted air model (Y NO)o is zero, a more convenient expression for the enthalpy

is easi I y deri ved from Eq. (2.29):

For the calculations in the following chapters it is convenient to define

2.4 Rate Pro.:esses

2.4.1 Finite Rate Nonequilibrium

In general, a large number of callisions among the particles is r')quired to

equilibrate the molecular vibrations, dissociation and higher modes of excitation

with the local translational temperature. This means that, once being in a state

of nonequilibrium, a finite amount of time is needed for the gas properties to

achieve thermodynamic equilibrium. The departure from equilibrium of a flowing

gas is characterized by the magnitude of this relaxation time T relative to some

translati onal time t needed by the parti cI es to change thei r state. The Ii mi ti ng

values of the ratio of T over t are a convenient means to characterize the

equilibrium state (T / t ... 0) ond the frozen state (T / t ... CD).

The purpose of thi s secti on is to present the equati ons whi ch are necessary

to account for finite rate nonequilibri um effe(:ts in the cal cui ations. Essenti all y

this is equivalent to finding an expression for the relaxation time T in terms of

the vari abl es of state.

2.4.2 Species Continuity Equation

Consider an arbitrary material volume containing particles of various species,

each species forming the partial density P. • Neglectfng diffusion, the mass rate I

of change of the ith component in the mixture must equal the rate of production

(which may be negative or positive) of the ith species, that is

species continuity equation finally assumes the form

to have the following description:

where the v. are the stoichiometric coefficients of the reactants, v: those of the I I

It is important to keep in mind that the expressions given by Eq.

As painted out by Vincenti and Kruger (Ref. 24), they are customarily extended to open systems of varying volume and temperature by identifying density and temperature as the instantaneous values for the system. This implies that the internal rate processes in a maving fluid are the same as those which occur at the same state ina stati c system.

calculation of dissociation and recombination rate constants (Ref. 24, 26), they

are either too complex to be useful in practice, or too simplified to produce

acceptable agreement with experimental data. However, it was recognized on

experimental grounds that, for many reactions, a plot of the logarithm of the

dissociation rate constant versus reciprocal temperature produces an essentially

straight line of negative slope, which leads to the Arrhenius equation

-kT kd = A e (2.63)

where €:A is the activation energy and A some constant independent of tempera­

ture. A refinement of this expression is usually obtained by assuming

9* T n

kd = ATe (2.64)

where 9* is the characteristic temperature of dissociation, and the constants A

and n are determi ned by curve fi ts to the experi mental data. Expressi ons of thi s

type are numerous in the literature and can usually be traced to the papers by

Wray (Ref. 25}and lin and Teare (Ref. 26). Expressions used in the present calcu-

which, when applied to the reactions given in Eq. (2.51) through (2.56), turns out

to be a function of temperature only. Eq. (2.68) shows also why the contributions

due to electronic excitation must not be neglected in the equilibrium constants •

Here, the ratio of the partition function is important, while in the internal energy

It is clear that substitution of the proper expressions for the partition

functions in Eq. (2.68) leads to complicated functions of the temperature. In

particular, since use is often made of the equilibrium constants in comparing

dissociation and recombination rate constants, it is convenient to have them in a

simple analytic form. For this purpose Wray (Ref. 25) has fitted the equilibrium ".

constants calculated from Eq. (2.68) for the reactions given by Eq. (2.51) through

(2.56) with Arrhenius type expressions of the form

n * K (T) = A T exp (- 9 / T) c

(2.69)

These expressions, given in Table IV, are employed in the present calculations.

With respect to these curve fits a remark is in order at this time. As men-

tioned earlier, the principle of detailed balancing requires that, for a gas mixture

to be in overall equilibrium, every molecular process and its inverse must be

individually in balance. Thus it can be shown that, if the total reaction rates and

their individual contributions are set to zero, the concentration equilibrium con-

stants, for the reacti ons chosen herei n, resul t as follows:

Since Wray curve fitted all the K except for K VI, which was determined from c c

K IV and K V according to Eq. (2.75), it is not surprising that Wray's expressions c c

for K IV and K VI differ from K IV and K VI as given in Table IV. For the c c c c

sake of consistency, the latter expressions were obtained from K I through Kill c c

according to Eq. (2.73) through (2.75). Numerical calculations show that the

has to be determined as a function of other flow variables.

For a five component mixture this means that five linearly independent

equations are needed to solve for all the unknowns. Equations (2.18) and (2.19),

together with Eq. (2.70) through (2.72), provide just such a set. Hence, from

2.7 Review of Assumptions

• It is instructive to examine the validity of the assumption of vibrational

equilibrium which was employed throughout this chapter. A measure for the

validit/ of this assul""ption is glven by the ratio of the chemical over the vibrational

relaxation time of the respective species.

Eq. (2.57), (2.58) and (2.62).

Ratios (rd/rv)i for i =° 2 , N2 are shown in Fig. 2 as function of

temperature, together with results for 02 taken directly from Ref. (28). It

should be noted that the values of rd / rV are independent of density.

It is seen from Fig. 2 that, at least for molecular oxygen and nitrogen,

vibrational relaxation times are always shorter than chemical relaxation times for

temperatures below 12,000 oK. Hence it is concluded that, for the t"mperature of

interest in the present investigation, vibrational relaxation will in general proceed

much faster than chemical relaxation. Therefore, the assumption of vibrational

equilibrium is a justifiable simplification.

However, it is also recognized, that for temperatures above 8,000 oK

vibrational and chemical relaxation times assume valL'es of the same order of

magnitude. Strictly speaking, vibrational relaxation and vibration-dissociation

coupling should therefore be considered in this temperature range. The difficulty

here is that, although vibrational relaxati on ra!es are known, an accurate model

for the coupling does not seem to be available. Conclusions drawn by investi-

gators in this particular field, Ref. 19 for example, leave the question open as to

the relative validity of the various models. Rather than to introduce equations of

whi ch the effect is not yet well understood, the vibrati onal exci tati on is assumed

to be uncoupled to the dissociation, and in equilibrium at all times.

These equations are the common equations of motion which do not depend on any

particular gas model. In order to solve these equations for the unknowns, they

must be suppl emented by a thermal and a cal ori c equati on of state whi ch do depend

on the particular gas model and were derived in Chapter II as

3.2.2 Frozen Shock Conditions

For frozen and nonequilibrium flow it will be assumed that the composition

of the air does not change across the shock, that is, Z = Z • Since, in the 00 s

present calculations, the shock wave is assumed to be a discontinuity of zero

thickness, and any possible chemical reaction would need some finite thickness

in order to take place, the assumption is a logical one.

Combining the equation of state with equations (3.20) through (3.23), it

can be shown that

angle a, the temperature behind the shock, T ,can now be found from equations s

(3.29) and (2.30) by solving these equations numerically. Using the continuity

equation, Eq. (3.20), and the energy equation, Eq. (3.23), the density ratio

across the shock is obtai ned as

which completes the calculations of the static conditions on the dow.,stream side

of the shock wave.

Unfortunately, the solution described above involves an iterative calcula-

tion of the temperature T • Since iterations are normally time consuming, il is s

impractical to calculate the shock conditions by this process at each step in the

course of a numerical calculation. Instead, the expressions for u ,v, T , p , s s S 5

and p , presented in this and in the previous section, may be expressed in diffe­s

rential form in terms of the shock wave angle gradient. It is then possible to

integrate for some selected key variables, say density P and temperature T , s s

while the values of the remaining variables are determined from simple algebraic

equations.

METHOD OF SOLUTION

4.1 The Method of Integral Relations

4.1.1 The Method in General

In order to appl y the method of integral relations as described by Dorodnitsyn

in Ref. 2, all the partial differential equations are cast into the divergence form,

namely of.

oG. I

(i '" 1, 2, • '" m) (4.1)

Here x and yare the independent variables, while F. , G. and H. are the I I I

known functions of the dependent variables, and m denotes the number of

equations.

Consider now the solution of the above system of m equations in the region

which is bounded by the body surface and by the shock wave y (x). Dividing s

this region into N curvilinear strips (see Fig. 6) bounded by lines "

v = y - k (x) k - ~ Ys (4.2)

where k = 0, 1, 2, ••• , N, the system (4.1) can be integrated with respect to

y across each strip. The result is a system of integral equations of the form

where k = 0, 1, 2, ... , N - 1. Using Leibniz's rule for differentiation under

the integral sign (Ref. 32), the first integral may be rewritten and the above

equations become

d dx (

+ G. k + 1 - G. k I, I , = 0 (4.4)

In order to evaluate the integrals, the integrands must be known functions of y.

Unfortunately the integrands F. and H. contain precisely those dependent I I

variables for which values are to be calculated, hence some approximations '1ave

to be made. Generally, as an approximation, any interpolation formula can be

used whi ch expresses the val ue of F. or H. at an arbitrary 0 S:y :s: y through its I I S

values on the lines y = Yk. For example, one may use polynomials of the form

where the a. (x) and b. (x) are to be evaluated in terms of the boundary values In In

Performing the necessory operations on these polynomial appn>ximations yields a

system of m. N ordinary differential equations of the following form:

where k = 0, 1, .•• , N - 1; n = 0, 1, ••• , Nand i = 1, 2, ••• , m.

(4.7)

The solution of the system (4.7), obtained when the region is divided into

N strips, is called the Nth approximation. It is obvious from the above that

with higher approximations the complexity of the problem increases.considerably.

Belorserkovskii (Ref. 37) demonstrated the convergence of the method by COi'nporing

one-, two-, and three-strip solutions for supersonic flow post a circular cylinder.

4.1.2 The Fir~~ Approximation

For the first approximation, according to the previous section, N = 1, k =0,

form

Applying this procedure to F. and H., the coefficient functions are given by I I

Eq. (4.10). Equation (4.7) may now be simplified and, for the first approximation,

4.2 Nonequilibrium Flow

4.2.1 General Remarks

As early as 1929, Busemann (Ref. 33) showed that supersonic flow of an

inviscid gas about circular cones is characterized by the fact that the pressure and

the velocity vector are constant on coaxial conical surfaces having the same vertex

as the conical body. A consequence of this is that the shock wave, forming one

boundary of this flow field, must itself be a conical surface. It will be shown in

the discussion of the results, that, in the case of nonequilibrium, chemically

relaxing flow in this case, the time dependency of the chemical reactions destroy

this self-similarity mentioned by Busemann, even though the flow is considered

to be inviscid. Therefore, no definite statement can be made, a priori, about the

shock shape or the behavior of other flow parameters. Values for all variables

must be calculated by integrating the conservation equations together with the

equation of state and the boundary conditions in a step-by-step fashion along the

I ength of the cone.

Two different sets of equations will be examined. The first set, later

referred to as the standard approximation, contains all the conservation equations,

equations (3.12) through (3.15), in approximate form. The second set, later

r~ferred to as the semi -exact procedure, uses onl y the conti nuity and the y-,

momentum equations in their approximate form, while the x-momentum and species

conti nuity equati ons are used in the exact form.

For a supersonic flow field, which will be considered here, the equations

are of quasi hyperbolic character and thus form an initial value j)rcblem. Initial

values are given by the frozen flow solution to be discussed in section 4.3, where

it will also be shown that initial gradients can be derived as functions of the

i niti 01 val ues.

4.2.2 The Standard Approximation

The application of Eq. (4.11) to the conservation equati.ons, Eq. (3.12) and

equations (3.16) through (3.18), results in the following ordinary differential

equations where use was made of the fact that Vb = 0, and y = 0, at the b.ody

surfoce.

It is of interest to examine these approximations in some detail. First, it is

noted that it has no effect on the x-Momentum equation, Eq. (4.13), whether one

approximates the terms p u v K r j and j p (1 - Ky) sin e separately, or combined.

The situation is analogous for the y-Momentum equation. Second, the body sur-

face curvature K (x), and the surface inclination angle e (x) are constants as

far as the linear approximations in y-direction are concerned. It is thet. noted

that both of the momentum equations contain linear approximations for (p +p i~

and p u v rj. However, while the term p (1 - Ky) is linearized in tl,e x-Momer.-

tum equation, it is p (1 + Ky) in the y-Momentum equation. This is an obvious

discrepancy which requires particular attention.

Application of equations (4.8) through (4.10) to these terms leads to the

following relations for p (y) : ,.

Since two different values for the pressure at anyone point in the flow field are

unacceptable, P1 (y) and P2

(y) must be required to be the same. It can be seen

at once that this condition is satisfied for K = O. On the other hand, for K + 0,

it can be shown that this not only requires Fb and Ps to be the same, but also

that

p (y) = I\, = Ps = constant

Fortunately this discrepancy is the only one, since the application of

equations (4.8) through (4.10) to the remaining terms generally leads to only ane

procedure to avoid the discrepancy altogether, and simultaneously reduce rhe

number of functions for which approximations have to bo introduced, is discussed

in the next section.

Apart from this it should be noted that certain terms disappear in the con-

servation equations when either j or K, or both, are zero. In this case, no

linearizations are introduced for the respective terms. Thus, for example, when

the equations are applied to wedge flow (K = 0, j = 0), the linearized terms

4.2 .3 The Semi -exact Procedure

The general form of the conservation eqyattons for the one-strip approxi-

mation, Eq. (4.11), already indicC:1.ted -that the equations are formulated in terms

of the variables along the-shock wave and along the body surface, only. This

situation suggests the use of the flow tangency condition, Eq. (3.19), in order to

simplify some of the partial differential equations before they are integrated in

y-direction, and thereby converted to ordinary differential equations. As a

matter of fact, it is seen from equations (3.12) through (3.15) that the x-Momentum

equation and the species continuity equation reduce to ordinary differential

equations in terms of the variables along the body surface when v !~ set to zero.

Therefore, only the overall continuity equation and the y-Momentum equation

need to be used in approximate form, which results in a much simpler set of

equati ons for the semi -exact procedure. Thi s set then consi sts of equati ons (4.17),

(4.19), and (4.21) through (4.25), while the x-Momentum and the species con-

tinuity equations are replaced by

respectively. Thus, the introduction of the above exact equations eliminates the

need to approximate the terms pu C. r j , (1 + Ky) W. r j , and p (1- Ky). In I I

particulc!"" the d!s'crepancy discussed in the previous section is removed by not

using an approximation for p (1 - Ky).

A careful comparison of equations (4.26) and (4.27) with their approximate

counterparts reveals that they may be expressed in a combined form by introducing

certain indicators, say e and a.. Setting the indicators to zero results in the

exact equations, while assigning the value unity yields the approximate equations.

and a linear approximation for p,

Since it can be shown that the right hand sides of equations (4.34) and

(4.35) are the sums of infinite alternating series in powers of y / y , where 5

o s: y / y s: 1 , the error of the method is determined by the linear approximation, s

Eq. (4.36), for the pressure p (y) across the shock layer.

Having determined the density Pb ' temperature T b' shock wave angle 0,

and the mass fractions Cib

(i = 0, N, NO) by numerical integration of equations

(4.30) through (4.33), the remaining Cib

(i = O2

, N2

) are calculated from the

mass balance equations. Knowing the temperature T b and all of the mass

fractions Cib

, the static enthalpy can be evaluated, whereupon the velocity ub

can be computed from the energy equation. Similarly, with density 1\,' tempera­

ture T b' and the mass fractions Cib known, the pressure Pb is given by the

equati on of state.

As far as the variables along the shock wave are concerned, it suffices to

integrate equations (3.28), (3.32) an,:) (3.33) in addition to (4.32). Once the

shock wave angle 0, density P , and temperature T are known, all other s s

variables behind the shock can be computed algebraic!y from the expressions given

in Chapter III •

key variabl es of parti cular interest.

4.3 Initial Solution

4.3.1 Frozen Flow

In order to start the numerical integration of the equations presented in

section 4.2, the values of all variables must be known at x := O. The calculation

of these values will be based on the assumptions that, first, the flow is chemically

frozen and, second, that, in case of a body with non-zero curvature (K + 0)

there is a small region including the tip where the body may be considered to be

a circular cone or a wedge (K ::: 0). Since the use of frozen shock conditions

implies that the flow is frozen at the tip, this assumption is not a new one.

With the moleculllr vibrations in equilibrium, and the gas composition

frozen, there exists no mechanism to destroy the self-similar character of the flow

field, and therefore the classical result of a straight shock wave and constant

properties along the body streamline may be applied. Mathematically expressed,

this means that in equations (4.17) through (4.19), the gradients of all flow

variables along the body and that of the shock wave angle cr can be set to zero.

This implies that also the right hand sides of these equations must vanish. Hence,

For a given flight configuration, that is given semi-vertex angle a and

shock wave angle (J, and calculating the temperature T , the density p, and s s

the pressure p from the frozen shock conditi ons, that is, from equati ons (3.29) s

the value of ub

from the fact that the equations for the initial values were abtained by equating

Since, for an attached shock wave, also y (0) = 0, the right hand sides of s

4.4 Equilibrium Flow

As mentioned earlier, an equilibrium flow solution in connection with non-

equilibrium flow about wedges or circular cones is useful because it provides a

check, in an approximate way, for the values which should be approached

asymptotically by the nonequilibrium solution. There are two reasons for the

approximation. It will be shown in the discussion of the results that, for non-

equilibrium flow about cones, the shock wave is curved. By assumption, the

shock wave angle a at the apex is the same as that for frozen flow, while further

downstream, (] approaches the equilibrium shock wave angle which is always

found to be small er than the shock wave angl e cr for frozen flow. Consequentl y, .. ,

those streamlines which have passed through the stronger portion of the shock wave

1 • form a region close to the body surface which must have a higher entropy than the

. ~ stream lines farther away from the surface. This region is sometimes called an

entropy layer. Furthermore, it is known from theory that, in contrast to equi Ii-

brium, nonequilibrium dissociation and recombination are nonisentropic processes.

Thus, the chemical relaxation in the flow provides another mechanism by which

entropy is increased. It is therefore concl uded that the equi libri um state whi ch is

reached after complete relaxation has a higher entropy than an equilibrium flow,

originating from the same free stream conditions, would have. Since, by assumption,

the two flows have the same total enthalpy, but their entropy is different, they

cannot reach the same fi nal state •

Assuming that the air is in thermodynamic equilibrium everywhere in the

flow field, the same considerations as for frozen flow apply, namely, that the

flow field is similar. Again, this implies that all flow field parameters are

constant on planes, or coaxial cones intersecting at the tip of the body.

Newman (Ref. 36) has used equations (4.41) through (4.43), in connection

with thermodynamic data from tables, to calculate conical flow parameters for air

in equilibrium. He found that these algebraic equations yield results which are in

excellent agreement with the results from the numerical integration of the Taylor-

Maccoll differential equation by Romig (Ref. 21). Similar calculations by Thoenes

(Ref. 16, 17) for a simple air model, but using equations analogous to those pre-

sented in Chapter II for the thermodynami c properti es, confi rmed thi s agreement.

The more sophisticated air model employed in the present investig~tion requires a

method of calculation which differs slightly from that used previously, and is there-

fore outlined below.

For an assumed shock wave angle cr the equilibrium conditions behind the

shock wave can be calculated as described in Section 3.2.3, whereupon the body

surface velocity, ub

' is computed from Eq. (4.44). Substituting this expression

into the continuity equation, Eq. (4.41),yields

Starting from a first guess for the body surface temperature, Tb ' together with the

density at the body surfal:e, Pb

' from Eq. (4.65), the equilibrium species mass

fractions must now be calculated by an iteration, using th •• equations provided in

Section 2.6. This iteration can be terminated when the mass fractions C ib and

the temperature T b thus obtained, together with density Pb and pressure Pb

from equations (4.65) and (4.66), satisfy the equation of state.

The energy equation, not used so far, again provides the closing link in

the loop. If the value for the velocity at the body surface, ub

' obtained from

the energy equation does not agree with the one calculated from Eq. (4.44), the

procedure has to be repeated by selecting a new value for the shock wave angle a.

4.5 Numerical Techniques

For the numerical evaluation all equations were converted to dimensionless

form by introducing the following dimensionless variables:

Since infinite long cones have no typical dimension, the characteristic length )"

was defined as a dissociation relaxation length by

(4.68)

where Z is the compressibility factor defined by Eq. (2.17). The equations were

then programmed in FORTRAN Y, suitable for the UNIYAC 1108 located at the

University of Alabama Research Institute. For simplicity of program check-out

and debugging the problem was programmed in three separate parts for frozen,

equilibrium, and nonequilibrium flow.

The frozen flow program consists essentially of a double loop iteration,

following the process of solution as described in Section 4.3.1. The process is

started with an assumed value for the shock wave angle a in the main progrom,

which then calls a subroutine for the iterative calculation of the temperature

behind the shock, T , from Eq. (3.29). If the difference in the body surface s

velocity, ub

' which is computed from two independent equations, is larger

than a specified minimum, the computation returns to the main program and resumes

with an adjusted value of the shock wave angle cr. The built-in limit of ten

iterations was in no case exceeded. Running times, including compilation of the

program, are in the order of 5 to 10 seconds, even with double precision.

The structure of the equilibrium flow program is analogous to the one for

frozen flow, however, with additional loops for the calculation of the equilibrium

compositions as function of density and temperature.

The nonequilibrium flow program is set up in terms of some eighteen sub­

routi nes for the vari ous thermodynami c and other functi ons di scussed in Chapters II

through IV. Its core consists of the standard fourth order variable step Runga­

Kutta integration routine RKVS, which is described in detail in Ref. 38. Using

the initial gradients and a simple Euler integration to calculate values for all

variables at an incremental distance away from x = 0, the computation switches

over to the Runga-Kutta integration of equations (4.30) through (4.33). Numeri­

cal problems and running times depend on the case and will be discussed in

Chapter V.

CHAPTER V

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

5.1 Frozen Flow

The success of the one-strip integral method when applied ~o the com-

putation of supersonic flow of a perfect gas (y = 1.4) about circular cones was

previously demonstrated by South (Ref. 12). He showed that, particularly for

higher free stream Mach numbers (Mea> 3), the results from the integral method

are in excellent agreement with the charts in Ref. 39. In the present investiga-

ti on, chemi call y frozen f1 ow was therefore studi ed onl y to obtai n proper i ni ti al

conditions for the calculation of chemically relaxing flow, as pointed out in

section 4.3.

Figures 7 through 12 show the variation of some typical flow field variables

with cone semi-vertex angle and free stream Mach number, for undissociated air

in vibrational equilibrium. In Figures 7, 8, 11, and 12, the perfect gas results

are 01 so given for comparison. In view of previous findings (Ref. 12), the

difference between the perfect gas results and those of the present investigation

can be attributed to vibrational equilibrium. It can be observed that for those

combinations of free stream velocity and cone angle where the temperature in

the shock layer becomes high enough to cause significant molecular vibration,

the shock wave tends to be closer to the body than for the perfect gas case.

Simultaneously, there is a slight increase in the surface velocity, while the

surface pressure is hardly affected at all •

5.2 Equilibrium Flow

Rather than to duplicate the work of Newman (Ref. 36), conical flow

parameters for air in thermodynamic equilibrium are presented here in order to

demonstrate the validity of the five component air mcx:lel for the range of cone

semi -vertex angl es and ',:ree stream conditi ons consi dered in this work. The use-

fulness of an equilibrium ::low solution in connection with calculations of non-

equilibrium flow was already discussed in section 4.4.

Figures 13 through 16 present a comparison of equilibrium flow lesults

obtained from the one-strip integral method, used in this investigation, with

results obtained by integrating the Taylor-Maccoll equation (Ref. 21). In

addition, these figures represent a comparison of the thermodynamic properties

of the air model used in the present investigation with the thermodynamic tables

of Blackwell et al., which were used in Romig's work (Ref. 21).

Thirteen cases for a variety of cone semi-vertex angles (30:S; e :S;45) and

free stream Mach numbers (10 :s; Moo S30) were selected to cover a wide range

of values of the hypersonic similarity parameter (5 s; Moo sin e:s; 18) at two

different .free stream pressures. In all cases, the results from the two calculations,

each using a different air model and a different method of solution, agree quite

well.

Additional c"ses for conical equilibrium flow were calculated for the

purpose of comparison with chemically relaxing flow. In particular, it will be

shown at the end of this chapter, how the state of equilibrium, which is approached

asymptotically by the nonequilibrium flow, compares with the state of equili-

brium found when thermodynamic equilibrium is assumed throughout the flow

field. In the next section, these equilibrium states are, for simplicity, labelled

"asymptotic equilibrium" and "conical equilibrium", respectively.

5.3 Nonequilibrium Flow

Nonequilibrium flow calculations have been carried out for various pur-

poses, and the free stream conditions were chosen accordingly. Table V gives a

detailed summary of all cases which were investigated, while Fig. 17 displays,

for each case, the three independent characteristic parameters (semi-vertex

angle a, free stream velocity, and al titude) in a velocity-al titude diagram.

Cases 1 and 2 were selected principally for the purpose of comparing the

results from the integral method used in the preser,t investigation, with those of

the method of characteri sti cs (Ref. 20). Case 3 was computed to check previ ous

calculations using a much simpler air model (Ref. 16). Cases 4 through 8 are for

similar cones at constant altitude but at different free stream velocities. Cases

9 and 10, together with case 5, were selected to study the effect of different

altitudes on all flow variables at the same cone angle and flight velocity. The

influence of the semi-vertex angle e on the flow parameters is studied by com-

paring cases 10 through 13, in which both altitude and free stream velocity are

kept constant.

Figures 18 and 19 show the species mass fractions on the cone surface for

cases 1 and 2, respectively. The slight difference i" the results near the tip of

the cone might be due to one or more of the differences in the calculation

procedures. A small difference in the initial values, for example, which is

undetectable from the graphs shown in Ref. 20, together with different expressions

of the equilibrium constants used for the reactions IV and VI (see section 2.5),

may be one reason for the discrepancy. Another cause may be the fact that, in

order to use the method of characteristics, a certain small but finite area of

frozen flow has to be assumed near the tip, while no such assumption is needed

for the integral method. In any case, the results for the gas composition from the

two methods are al most i denti cal for x > 4 mm. The temperature and densi ty

along the cone surface, plotted in figures 20and 21, show the same excellent

agreement.

The variation of the shock wave angle along the length of the cone is

shown in Fig. 22. The resul ts from the two methods agree insofar as both methods

predict that the shock wave angle C1 should decrease. While the characteristics

sol uti on from Ref. 20 seems to i ndi cate that the shock wave angl e C1 shoul d

approach its value for conical equilibrium flow monotomically from above, the

integral method solution indicates a limiting value for cr which is slightly

higher than that. As a matter of fact, when the integration was carried out to a

distance of about 70 cm away from the tip for case 2, it was found that the shock

wave angle has a minimum value (cr= 44.39) between x = 25 mm and x = 75 mm,

then approaches its asymptotic equilibrium value (cr = 44 .41) from below. From

x = 23 cm onward none of the variables show any change in the first four sign-

ificant figures. Apart from this, it is noted that the difference in shock wave

angle between frozen flow and equilibrium flow is relatively small (only about

1 .5 degrees incase I, and even I ess than that incase 2).

Cone surface pressures for cases 1 and 2 may be compared in Fig. 23. In

both cases, the difference between the values for frozen flow and those for equili-

brium flow is less than 2%. The method of characteristics is seen to predict a

slightly lower surface pressure Oower by about 0.5%) than the integral method.

Case 1 also was the only case that presented numerical problems. The

der.sity, the shock wave angle, the pressure and the surface velocity exhibited

small damped oscillations, of which an example is given in Fig. 23a. It was

found that a systematic removal of all possible sources for numerical inconsistencies

in the program reduced the amplitude of these oscillations considerably. A

further reduction was achieved by finding an optimum size for the initial step

which was then taken to be AI;= 10-5 for all remaining cases. The fact that

case 1 has the lowest body surface Mach number, i" connection with other

fir, lings, indicates that the probable cause for these oscillations lies in a viola-

tion of the stability criterion for hyperbolic equations. No definite conclusions

have been reached at the present time since it is felt that this problem requires

a more detailed analysis.

The body surface velocity and tile surface Mach number for cases 1 and 2

are shown in figures 24 and 25, respectivel y. No results from the method of

characteristics were available for these variables. However, the fact that the

authors of Ref. 20 present results for wedge flow where ub

was considered to be

constant, permit the conclusion that they also found thllt the change in surface

velocity along the body surface is negligible.

For both, case 1 and case 2, the flow field has been calculated up to a

dimensionless distance of s= 10.0 from the tip of the cone. This corresponds to

a physi cal distance of about 10 mm incase 1, and about 70 mm for case 2. Com-

putation times were 146 sec for case 1, and 93 sec for case 2. This contrasts with

computation times of about 1 hour per case on the BRLESC computer (Ref. 20) for

the method of characteristics calculations. For the integration of case 2 up

to S = 100.0, the running time was only 252 seconds in this work.

Figure 26 shows the influence of the free stream velocity on the surface

speci es mass fracti ons for constant al titude and cone semi -vertex angl e. Inc! udi ng

the nitri c oxyde mass fracti ons, whi ch show the lowest val ues for the highest

velocity, all variations are as expected. The large difference in the characteris·

tic relaxation lengths is particularly noteworthy. The surface temperatures,

shown in Fig. 27, again display the drastic drop near the cone tip, which is

caused by the strong dissociation gradients in this region. Surface density, shock

wave angl,., and surface pressure are shown in figures 28 through 30. Their

limiting values for large ~ show onl y a slight dependence on the free stream

velocity, in contrast to the gas composition and the surface temperatures.

Figures 31 through 33, representing a 300 cone at constant free stream

velocity but at three different altitudes, clearly demonstrate the validity of the

nonequilibrium scaling law

p • L = constant <XI

which is discussed in detail in Ref. 40. Here L is some char'lcteristic dimension

of tho f10w field or the body. According to the theory, nonequilibrium scaling is

a:f)plicable for that region of the relaxation zone where the reactions are predomi-

nontly dissociation reactions. As seen from the production rate equations given

in Chapter II, the dissociation rates are proportional to the density. Once the

state of equilibrium is approached, the rate of recombination, being proportional

to the square of the density, becomes of equal importance, and therefore the

nonequilibrium scaling law should cease to be valid. Figures 31 through 33 show

that thi s is preci sel y so. >

The length scole in these figures is somewhat arbitrary because the reference

density was chosen for convenience such that the characteristic length

whi ch shoul d theoreti call y be the some constant for all cases, was equal to one

meter for case 10. This means that the; scale is practically identical with the

79

~ scale, which permits an easy conversion to the actual physical length in each

case •

The reason for the dose agreement in all variables shown, in spite of

differences in the free stream temperature, lies in the fact that, for hypersonic

conditions, the total enthalpy of the free stream is given mainly in terms of the

velocity, while the free stream temperature contributes only a negligible amount.

On the downstream side of the shock wave the situation is almost opposite, and

therefore the absolute temperature, which controls the reactions, is practically

the some in the three cases.

Figures 31 through 33 shaw that the results, plotted versus x, are identical,

or at least in very dose agreement, up to ~ = 10. For -; > 10, case 10 rapidly

approaches equilibrium, which is reached near -; = 80. In fact, for -; >80, no

changes in the first four significant figures for the density p and the tempel'ature

T at the body surface could be observed. The curves for case 9 show a tendency

towards equilibrium at -; = 100, but no such trend can be recognized for case 5.

It is also noted from figures 32 and 33 that the asymptotic equilibrium values of

Page 97: ntrs.nasa.gov · The author wi shes to express hi s deep appreci ati on to Dr. Rudol f Hermann for his guidance and advice during the course of this investigation. Likewise, the author

80

the surface temperature and the surface density do not agree with the respective

values for conical equilibrium.

It is concluded that, under otherwise identical conditions, the altitude has

a decisive influence on the flow field variables. While, for practical purposes,

the state of equilibrium is reached at a distance of about 50 cm away from the tip

in case 10 (40 km altitude), this equilibrium state is not yet reached at 150 m

from the tip in case 5 (80 km altitude).

The influence of the cone semi-vertex angle e on the flow field is shown in

figures 34 through 37. It is foui"ld that, qualitatively, an increase in e has the

some effect as an increase in free stream velocity. Actually, the effect of a

change in e depends very much on the other parameters, namel y 01 titude and

free stream velocity. It is shown in Fig. 35, for example, that for a variation of

e from 20 0 to 35 0, the temperature at the cone tip changes by roughly 8000 OK •

The values for conical equilibrium indicate that, once equilibrium is reached,

density. First, the figure demonstrates that conical equilibrium flow is characte-

ri zed by an i sentropi c compressi on from the shock wave to the body, si nce the

two equilibrium states are located on the same vertical line. Second, it is

shown that the value of the entropy of the equilibrium state, which is asymptoti-

call y approached by the nonequil ibri um fI ow, di ffers from the entropy val ue for

conical equilibrium, as discussed in section 4.4. Whether the entropy increase

shown is mainly due to the difference in the shock wave angle for the two situa-

tions, or due to the relaxation process cannot be explained unless more detailed

calculations are carried out. Finally, the close agreement of all variables cal­

culatedforconical equilibrium at the body (e.g. Tb ==55270

with the corresponding values indicated in the Mollier chart (Tb"':l 5500oK,

its thermo<:lynamic properties as used in this investigation.

5.4 Conclusions

A semi-exact procedure, which uses exact forms of the x-Momentum and

species continuity equations along the body surface, was shown to yield results

which are in excellent agreement with those obtained by the method of characte-

ristics. Although this procedure was also successfully used in the investigation of

nonequilibrium blunt body flows (Ref. 3,4,5), it was reported to be always

The amplitude of some bounded oscillations, which were encountered in one

case with a relatively low surface Mach number near the cone tip (Mb

< 2.5),

could be reduced to a negligible amount by carefully removing all possible sources

for inconsistencies in the program. The rapid increase of the surface Mach number

near the cone tip apparently caused the oscillations to stabilize quickly, and no

further probl ems were encountered.

Although it is recognized that the method of characteristics furnishes infor-

mati on about the variables within the shock layer which cannot be obtained by

the one-strip integral method without additional calculation schemes, it appears

that running times for the semi-exact procedure used in this investigation are

drasti call y shorter than those reported for the method of characteristi cs .

The definition of a characteristic relaxation length for dissociation,

A'"' (d Z/ dxf 1, was found to be extremely useful. Its principal advantage is

that it transforms all problems to the same length scale, thereby avoiding the need

to specify integration ranges for each problem individually. The latter process

could be very time consuming because of the strong variation of A from case to

case (10-3 < HmJ < 102, in the examples discussed).

The application of the nonequilibrium scaling law, P.., • L = constant, to

cases coveri ng a wi de range in 01 ti tude cI earl y demonstrated its validity for the

type of fI ow consi dered in this i nvesti gati on •

It WtlS also demonstrated that, the three parameters, cone semi-vertex

angle, free stream velocity, and altitude, exert a strong influence on the

variation of most flow field variables. It is therefore concluded that, for cases

where the characteristic length is of the same order of magnitude as the length

of the conical body, large variations of the gas composition, the temperature and

the density along the streamlines have to be expected in the entire shock layer.
