Abstract

An analysis for predicting the interaction of a steady oblique shock wave and a planar mixing region is presented. Specifically, an equation for the shock curvature was obtained from the shock wave and isentropic wave difference equations which govern the shock transmission within a region of varying Mach number. The effects of nonuniform gas composition within the mixing region were assessed using a similar treatment; however, the wave equations were expanded in terms of a varying ratio of specific heats instead of a varying Mach number. An expression for the shock-induced vorticity due to velocity and density gradients within the mixing region was also obtained. This expression provides a means of estimating the possible mixing augmentation induced in various shock wave-mixing region interactions. When the velocity and density gradients within the mixing region oppose each other, it is demonstrated that the pre-shock vorticity may be attenuated by the shock. Applications of the analysis are discussed with reference to specific examples involving mixing augmentation and shock oscillation.
