Numerical simulation on characteristics of particle-gas flows in supersonic impinging jet

The supersonic impinging jets always occur when crafts are starting short takeoff and vertical landing from the ground. The adverse flow conditions happen to decrease the performance of aircrafts, such as impinging force, high noise spectrum and high shear stresses. Due to rare results on particle-gas impinging jet flows to date, numerical simulations were performed to investigate the supersonic impinging jet flows of particle-gas two phases in the present studies. Convergent-divergent supersonic and convergent sonic nozzles were used to induce the supersonic jet flows. Discrete phase model (DPM) was used to simulate the particle-gas flows. Different particle diameters were investigated. The flow Mach number and pressure coefficients on the ground surface were obtained to describe phenomena inside impinging and wall jet flows. The particle motion was obtained in details from the present simulations.
