Application of the CSCM method to the design of wedge cavitiesThis paper describes the application of the conservative supra characteristic method (CSCM) to predict the flow around two-dimensional slot injection cooled cavities in hypersonic flow. Seven different numerical solutions are presented that model three different experimental designs. The calculations manifest outer flow conditions including the effects of nozzle/lip geometry, angle of attack, nozzle inlet conditions, boundary and shear layer growth and turbulance on the surrounding flow. The calculations were performed for analysis prior to wind tunnel testing for sensitivity studies early in the design process. Qualitative and quantitative understanding of the flows for each of the cavity designs and design recommendations are provided. The present paper demonstrates the ability of numerical schemes, such as the CSCM method, to play a significant role in the design process.
