Supersonic flow past a wedge - Shock waves
In this tutorial, we simulate a supersonic flow past a wedge. The inlet Mach number is 3, and the wedge angle is 20 degrees. You will learn about,
- Running compressible flow simulations.
- Running supersonic flow simulations.
- Setting the thermophysical properties for the working fluid.
- Setting a robust numeric for compressible-supersonic flow simulations.
- How to use pseudo-transient solvers.
- Computing the Mach number.
- Capturing shock waves.
- Sampling and plotting
