Abstract - With a Steep Angle at the leading edge of Wedge
a mechanical device which coverts velocities to higher shock
waves and huge turbulence. Our current research work focuses
on behavior of Shock waves expanding at the Wedge entry and
exit. Predicting the flow behavior at various angles the Wedge
behaves with huge change in lift and drag divergence at
leading and trailing edge of the Profile. Estimating the Wedge
transforming the velocity from its steep slope to the width.
With specific design requirements for a gauge pressure of
200KPa and 4.2 Mach the behavior of Flow at various flow
angle can be analyzed. For the estimation of K-Epsilon & K
Omega over the wedge at Steep Entry Angle can affect the flow
velocity consequently at intervals. Computational Fluid
Dynamics tools over a solid wedge is being used to predict the
behavior of the flow characteristics.
Key Words: Steep angle, Wedge, Shock waves, K-epsilon, K-
Omega, Flow Behaviour.
1.INTRODUCTION
A Supersonic wedge is designed for carrying out Flow
behavior Turbulence models. Our paper currently focuses on the
Behavior of Flow over the Wedge with Steep edge angle for
analyzing the past leading edge for Turbulent Kinetic Energy and
Eddy Dissipation. Assuming the design input of Shock waves,
deflection angle and angle β of the shock with respect to the
inflowing gas. Depending on angle of the wedge the reaction of
flow creates continuous dispersion of Flow across the surface of
the wedge. A Solid wedge when is inclined at various angles the
puzzling behavior of Flow will not remain streamline. With
corresponding surface interaction of Oblique shock wave the
straight shock emanates the flow subsequently onto the wedge
width. A Wedge can experience high end impacts on large width
area based on the span and Angle of attach. Each turn the
supersonic flow makes can be computed separately from every
other angle, no wave reflections back onto surface. Considering
the Mach angle with respect to the geometry with an expression
as
The Propagation of Weak Disturbances and the coalescence
into a Mach wave can be shown using predicted Flow Behavior.
For a Mach value greater than 1 the transformation of Flow and
Shock angles is determined as shown below
1.1 Flow Behavior
From the edge of the Double Wedge surface the Leading edge
experiences the immediate effect of velocity by which
distribution of Flow is initiated. A Wedge can also experience
Tangential velocity components based on the Mach number
ahead in generating a shockwave. The Flow streamlines behind
the shock are straight and parallel to the wedge surface. The
Pressure of the surface of the wedge is constant and equal.
Straight oblique shocks to the tip of the sharp edge in supersonic
flow behavior in diverse relieving effect of surface. If the shock
occurs from the same family of the flow the behavior seems to be
intersecting and simply diverging.
