Rarefaction effects on separation of hypersonic laminar flows Gennady N. Markelov, Alexei N. Kudryavtsev, and Mikhail S. Ivanov Computational Aerodynamics Laboratory Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Siberian Division of Russian Academy of Sciences, Novosibirsk, Russia Abstract. A hypersonic monoatomic gas (argon) flow around a hollow cylinder flare was numerically simulated for low-to-moderate Reynolds numbers. A shock wave induced by the flare causes the formation of a separation region, and flow rarefaction near the leading edge affects the separation extent. The continuum (Navier-Stokes equations) and kinetic (the DSMC method) approaches were used to study the influence of the Mach number and wall-to-freestream temperature ratio on the flow structure and separation. To take into account rarefaction effects, slip boundary conditions are used for the Navier-Stokes solver. INTRODUCTION The problem of the shock wave/laminar boundary layer interaction has been actively studied lately both by numerical and experimental methods. This interaction can cause the formation of a separation region and lead, for example, to a decrease in the control surface efficiency and to an increase in the heat flux on the wall in the vicinity of the reattachment point. The simplest example of the flow near an aerodynamic control surface is the flow around a hollow cylinder flare. This axisymmetric configuration allows one to study the shock wave/ boundary layer interaction and to avoid 3D effects inherent in a flow near a compression ramp. Numerical analysis of such flows is traditionally performed using Navier-Stokes equations, and the initial effects of rarefaction are taken into account through slip velocity and temperature jump. The use of slip conditions is caused by the fact that rarefaction effects can be observed for slender bodies even for rather high Reynolds numbers (Re = 20,000 — 30,000). Moreover, the use of the continuum approach for an analysis of flow in the vicinity of the leading edge of slender bodies is not justified, even if the slip velocity and the temperature jump are taken into account. The flow physics is considerably complicated in case when flow separation is formed, for example, by a flare, and simulation of such flows by the continuum approach is questionable due to the strong rarefaction effects in the vicinity of the leading edge. The state-of-the-art of the algorithms of the DSMC method (adaptive grids, variable time step, etc.) [1,2] allows one to simulate flows at such a rather high Reynolds number Re ~ 20,000. This makes realistic the study of the area of applicability of the continuum approach for numerical analysis of laminar separated flows. Such studies were started by the authors of [3] and were continued in [4] where the detailed numerical modeling of axisymmetric shock wave/ laminar boundary layer interaction for the ONERA R5Ch wind tunnel conditions by using the continuum (Navier-Stokes equations) and kinetic (the DSMC method) approaches was performed. The DSMC results revealed the presence of a high slip velocity and temperature jump near the wall. Therefore, it is necessary to use slip conditions for the Navier-Stokes solver. The application of these conditions has a substantial effect on the entire flow field and allows one to obtain reasonable agreement with the DSMC results for flow fields and distributions of the pressure and heat-transfer coefficients. However, the NS solver with slip conditions predicts a greater length of the separation region than the DSMC method. Probably, this difference is caused by different descriptions of translational/rotational energy exchange for both methods. To eliminate the effect of rotational-translational exchange, a continuum and kinetic simulation of a laminar separated flow of a monoatomic gas (argon) was performed in the paper. The effect of rarefaction, Mach number, and wall temperature on laminar separation was also studied. CP585, Rarefied Gas Dynamics: 22nd International Symposium, edited by T. J. Bartel and M. A. Gallis © 2001 American Institute of Physics 0-7354-0025-3/01/$18.00 707 FLOW CONDITIONS AND NUMERICAL APPROACHES The hollow-cylinder flare configuration was taken from [5]. The hollow cylinder has a sharp leading edge and is aligned parallel to the oncoming flow. The compression flare is inclined at 30° to the cylinder and is followed by a hollow cylindrical section. The total length of the model is 0.17 m. The reference length L = 0.1017 m is the distance from the leading edge to the flare. The computations were carried out only for the upper part of the model, and the flow inside the model was not considered. Two test cases were considered with Mach numbers M^ = 10 and 4, respectively. In these cases, the same Knudsen number as for ONERA wind tunnel conditions Kn^ = X^/L = 9.35 • 10~3 was used (Aoo is the mean free path in the freestream flow). The Reynolds number Re^ = 19000 and 7600 was based on the freestream parameters and reference length L. The computations were conducted for a constant surface temperature and an adiabatic wall. For ONERA wind tunnel conditions, the wall-to-freestream temperature ratio was TW/T^ = 5.74. The same value of the temperature ratio was used for case 1. Since the Mach number is much smaller for case 2 (M^ = 4), the simulation results obtained for TW/T00 = 5.74 are close to the results calculated for an adiabatic wall. Therefore, additional calculations were conducted for this case with T^/Too = 1.0 to reveal the effect of the wall-to-freestream temperature ratio. Continuum approach The Navier-Stokes code [4] used solves the full laminar compressible Navier-Stokes equations with both no-slip and slip boundary conditions. The code is based on the finite- volume TVD scheme for the convective terms and the second-order central difference approximation of the diffusive terms. The inviscid fluxes are computed by the HLLEM Riemann solver [6]. The computations were conducted using the perfect gas model. The power-law dependence of the viscosity on the temperature p, oc T" was taken for more straightforward comparison with the results of DSMC simulations. The relations for the slip velocity and temperature jump deduced by Kogan [7] were used to model slip boundary conditions. Taking into account slip conditions somewhat complicates the computations for an adiabatic wall since the heat flux is determined with account of the non- vanishing gas velocity on the wall where U denotes the velocity component tangential to the solid wall and k is the heat conductivity. The first term in this expression is always positive. Therefore, the requirement of zero heat flux can be satisfied only by a negative temperature jump. In this case, after calculating slip velocity, the temperature jump is determined by the relation Kinetic approach The SMILE computational tool [2] was used. It based on the DSMC method [8] and the exact majorant frequency scheme [9] for modeling collision processes. The variable hard sphere model [8] was assumed for intermolecular collisions. Gas/surface interaction was simulated using diffuse reflection with complete accommodation energy and diffuse-elastic reflection. The latter means that the magnitude of the molecular velocity remains constant during reflection, but an angular distribution of the velocity vector follows the cosine-law of diffuse reflection. As a result, the heat flux to the body surface equals zero. The diffuse-elastic reflection was used to model an adiabatic wall with the DSMC method. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS The general structure of the flow is shown in Fig. 1 (Numerical Schlieren picture) with clearly visible shock waves formed in the flow around a hollow-cylinder flare. The separation shock wave intersects and coalesces with the reattachment shock wave. The new shock, in turn, intersecs and coalesces with the leading-edge shock 708 0.6 Y/L 0.4 0.2 o 30 0 ¡É\¸+¯§¨¬®­z°iºCËm­w£+º²¬®§¨§«¦¬®­±¸O¨§`°i«¹Ð©x§cº®§c­±§z¹©±x¨§z°i¯ º®¬ «§c©R´qÉ`Ë&©xªBº®Ä[§¨zÅ 0 0.5 1 µ 1.5 X/L X/L ®¿À~Á] ·¸º¹§»§¼3½¥¾ FIGURE 1.

At the same time, a comparison of the temperature profiles in Fig. 3 shows that the difference between the continuum and kinetic results reaches 40%. The use of slip conditions allows one to obtain identical values of temperature near the body surface and decrease the difference inside the boundary layer. However, the temperatures inside the boundary layer for DSMC and NS with slip conditions still differ by 20%. Obviously, the differences observed in the boundary-layer structure affect its stability to the action of the pressure gradient. The coordinates of the points of boundary-layer separation Xsep and reattachment Xreat are listed in Table 1, and it is seen that the NS solver predicts a greater length of the separation region than the DSMC method. The use of slip conditions leads to some displacement of the coordinate Xsep downstream and does not affect Xreat. Nevertheless, the separation region length is still greater than the DSMC results by 10%. Figure 4 shows the distributed aerothermodynamic characteristics obtained using the continuum and kinetic approaches. The differences in the pressure Cp and skin friction Cf coefficients, and Stanton number are mainly determined by two factors. The first one is the different length of the separation region. An earlier separation of the flow in NS results leads to a lower pressure peak and to a smaller heat flux on the flare surface. The second factor is the strong nonequilibrium of the flow near the leading edge. Its effect is noticeable up to X/L = 0.1 and can be related to the fact that the continuum approach is inapplicable even with account of slip conditions in the vicinity of the leading edge. The measure of this nonequilibrium is the ratio of the streamwise temperature to the total translational temperature. A 30% deviation of TX/T is observed up to X/L = 0.1 (Fig. 5). The magnitude of TX/T decreases downstream, but is still noticeable at a distance X/L = 0.4, which corresponds to 400AQQ. Strong flow nonequilibrium is the reason that the NS solver with no-slip and slip conditions predicts a significantly greater heat flux (up to a factor of four) than the DSMC method in the vicinity of the leading edge (Fig. 4). This also leads to a significant decrease in flow temperature downstream and an earlier separation of the boundary layer. As the freestream Mach number decreases, the level of flow nonequilibrium decreases too (see Fig. 5). This can be expected to lead to a better agreement between the NS and DSMC results. The flow around a hollowcylinder flare for M^ = 4 was calculated, and fairly good agreement was actually obtained in terms of density, velocity and even temperature profiles (Fig. 6). A small difference is observed only in the value of the heat flux to the surface for 0.6 < X/L > 0.9 (similar to Fig. 4) and in the separation region length (~ 6%).

The heat flux near the leadingsedge predicted by the continuum approach is severalfold kinetic approach. It can be assumed 7; that exactly this is the reason for other higher than that predicted by the é¨ and ® differences, for example, the different length of the separation region. Obviously, in the case ofcontinuum kinetic simulation of the flow around a body with an adiabatic wall, the heat flux is identical (namely, zero).

Second, an increase in the the shock-wave interaction region located much farther Km boundary-layer thickness led to a position of from the 6 flare surface than in the flow around a hollow-cylinder flare with a constant surface temperature. In this case, stronger affects the shock wave interaction region and decreases the adverse the expansion at the flare shoulder ¬pressure 7­ P distribution D ©--1 of gradient and, hence consequently, the separation region length. This is reflected in the >Cp whose magnitude on the flare D % 6 became of the same order with its value near the leading edge (see Fig. 11). A greater slope of the leading-edge shock wave for the NS solver with no-slip conditions causes an increase in pressure and friction on the forebody. m B" E o ( ? j g i @ : .

However, a qualitative difference in the slope of the leading-edge shock wave P- (see the temperature profiles in Fig. 12), in the distributed characteristics, and in the separation region length (Table 1) is retained. 713 FIGURE 12. Temperature profiles (Af*, = 4) CONCLUSIONS The computations for the Mach 10 flow of a monoatomic gas (argon) show that the continuum approach predicts a greater length of the separation region than the DSMC method. The use of slip boundary conditions for taking into account initial rarefaction effects allowed us to decrease the difference between the continuum and DSMC results. A comparison of the density, temperature, and velocity profiles shows that significant differences are observed only for the temperature inside the boundary layer. This is probably caused by strong flow rarefaction near the leading edge and, as a consequence, by a significant difference in heat fluxes near this edge predicted by the NS solver and DSMC method. A decrease in the freestream Mach number leads to smaller flow nonequilibrium in the vicinity of the leading edge and to better agreement between the continuum and kinetic results. In particular, the difference in the separation region length was reduced from 10% for MOO = 10 to 6% for MOO = 4. The use of adiabatic wall boundary conditions for flow simulation near a hollow cylinder flare induced a significant increase in the gas temperature near the body surface, which led to substantial changes in the boundary-layer structure. The NS solver with no-slip conditions and the DSMC method predict almost identical values of density and temperature near the body surface. In this case, however, the DSMC method predicts a greater length of the separation region than the NS solver. The use of slip conditions leads to more considerable changes than in the case of a constant surface temperature. For example, the slope of the leading-edge shock wave becomes even smaller than the DSMC prediction. The qualitative effect of slip conditions on the separation region length is retained, the latter decreases in size, and the difference between the DSMC and NS results increases. To study in more detail the above-described quilitative difference between the DSMC and NS predictions of the separation region length for cold and adiabatic walls experimental data are indispensable. In the term of RTO Working Group 10 an experimental study of hypersonic laminar flow around a hollow-cylinder flare with a heated wall is planned and it will clarify the situation.
