DIRECT NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THE INTERACTION OF 2D SHOCKWAVE AND SHEAR LAYER

Direct numerical simulation (DNS) of the interaction of shock wave and shear layer was performed. The compressible unsteady two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations were solved using the fifth-order WENO scheme combined with the third-order TVD Runge-Kutta scheme. The purpose of this paper is to reveal the mechanism of sound generation in the interaction of shock wave and shear layer. The results show that: (1) When incident shock wave is passing through the shear layer, the center of the vortex cores is shifted towards the lower side; (2) The interaction of incident shock wave and shear layer generates shocklet, and then acoustic wave is generated and radiated at the locus of contact of shocklet and shear layer; (3) Several arc-shocks are formed after reflected shock wave passing through shear layer; (4) When reflected shock wave is passing through shear layer, shock wave is leaking in the braid region and shock-associated noise is generated at the saddle points between vortices. This is a form of shock leakage mechanism.
