Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows

AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
The sound barrier• Supersonic aerodynamics and aircraft design
go hand in hand• Aspects of supersonic flow theory were
developed in the late 19th and early 20th
century• These remained mostly subjects of academic
interest until the 1940s.• As aircraft flight speed kept increasing pilots
started experiencing weird phenomena.

AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
The sound barrier• Control reversal: Airfoil centre of pressure position
changes at high airspeed. Moments around the flexural axis become very important causing aeroelastic twisting of wings. The end result can be a reversal of the effect of control deflections.
• Sudden drag increases: shock waves form on the suction side of wings and can increase the drag significantly
• Shock-induced flutter/buffetting: shock waves on wings and control surfaces can oscillate causing vibrations. Small amplitude versions of this phenomenon are known as transonic buzz.

Control reversal at highsubsonic conditions

• Control reversal can occur at low subsonic airspeeds too. This problem could be designed out.
• When it occurred at high subsonic airspeeds it was totally unexpected.
AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
Sudden drag increase• The Hawker Typhoon was
particularly susceptible to transonic effects.
• At high-speed dives near 450 mph the aircraft:– Experienced a sharp and
sudden increase in drag– Started buffetting– Became nose-heavy– Started rolling to port (left)
• ‘Sound barrier, the rocky road to Mach 1.0+’, P. Caygill

Transonic buzz• Usually appears as a vibration in the
control surfaces (aileron, elevator, elevonetc)
6
1941: ‘My speedometer was soon … topping the 1000 km/h mark. … there was a sudden vibration in the elevonsand … the aircraft went into an uncontrollable dive, causing high negative g. I immediately cut the rocket … Just as suddenly the controls reacted normally again and I eased the aircraft out of its dive.’
Heini Dittmar
AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
What speed?• Transonic effects appeared at different flight
conditions for different aircraft.• The Me-163 started experiencing transonic effects at
M=0.84• The P-38 Lightning at M=0.68• The Hawker Typhoon at M=0.64• ‘History of Shock Waves, Explosions and Impact’,
P.O.K. Krehl• In the end the sound barrier was not a physical
phenomenon.• It was the experience of a collection of unfavourable
phenomena at high subsonic airspeeds.
7
AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
Past Mach 1• Some types of whip have been
supersonic for centuries or millennia. The cracking sound of a whip occurs when the tip goes supersonic for a short time.
• Bullets and cannon balls have been going supersonic probably for a couple of centuries.
• The V2 rocket flew at supersonic speeds in 1944.
8
AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
Supersonic aircraft• During WW2 there were several claims of aircraft breaking the
sound barrier.• The Bell X-1 is officially recognized as the first aircraft to go
supersonic in 1947.• It was not particularly well-designed for supersonic flight aside
from:– Rocket engine for plenty of thrust– Thin wings, which were known to reduce compressibility
phenomena
9
AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
Faster than supersonic• Flight conditions at M>4 are conventionally
known as hypersonic.• A US variant of the V-2 rocket reached Mach
5 in 1949.• As the space age dawned, hypersonic flight
became increasingly frequent.• Yuri Gagarin was the first human to fly at
hypersonic conditions.• Atmospheric reentry occurs almost always at
hypersonic flight conditions.
10

Hypersonic aircraft• North American X-15: Maximum Mach number of 6.7
• Space Shuttle Orbiter: A hypersonic glider
11
First powered flight in 1960. Neil Armstrong flew it.

Compressible fluids• Compressible flow is one where the
density of the fluid is not constant; it can change in time and space.
• All fluids are compressible to a certain amount, although gases are much more easily compressed than liquids.
• Compressibility defines how easy it is to change the density of a fluid.
16
AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
Compressibility• Consider a small moving fluid element:
• Its density if r while the pressure exerted on it by the fluid particles around it is p.
• If the pressure exerted on the element is increased by dp, its density will increase by dr.
• Compressibility is defined as:
17
p
r
p
pp
τ =1ρdρdp
AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
Compressibility (2)• Therefore compressibility is the percentage
change in density of a fluid element due to a small change in pressure acting on the element.
• Compressibility has units of 1/Pa, or m2/N.• Note that the density of a gas can change even if
the pressure is constant, due to changes in temperature.
• Usually two types of compressibility are quoted:– Compressibility at constant temperature– Compressibility at constant entropy (i.e. no heat
addition)
18
AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
Compressibility (3)• The constant temperature compressibility
of water at standard conditions is:
• The constant temperature compressibility of air at standard conditions is:
• As expected, gases are much easier to compress than liquids.

τ T = 5×10−10 m2 /N
τ T =10−5 m2 /N
AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
Example• The figure shows the
pressure distribution around a NACA 4412 airfoil at Re=3x106 and sea level conditions.
• Calculate the maximum change in density over the airfoil’s surface if the chord of the airfoil is 1m.
20
AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
Answer• At sea level, p=101325 Pa, r=1.225 kg/m3
and µ=1.79x10-5 kg/ms.• From the Reynolds number • and the chord length, we can deduce that
U=44m/s.• The dynamic pressure • The pressure coefficient is given by
21
Re = ρUcµ
Cp =p− prefQ
Q =12ρU 2 =1177 Pa
AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
Answer (2)• From the pressure distribution plot:
– The maximum pressure coefficient on the airfoil is 1 at the leading edge.
– The minimum pressure coefficient is around -1.8.• Using the definition of the pressure
coefficient:– The maximum pressure on the airfoil is pref+Q.– The minimum pressure on the airfoil is pref-1.8Q.– The maximum drop in pressure is then dp=-
2.8Q=-3299 Pa.
22
AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
Answer (3)• Assuming that there is no change in
temperature in the flow, the change in density is given by
• Therefore, the maximum percentage change in density is -3.3%. That’s already quite low.
• Note that, if the chord had been 2 m long, the airspeed would have been 22 m/s and the percentage change in density -0.8%.
• As the airspeed decreases, changes in density decrease very quickly.

AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
Thermodynamics of air• Air is modeled as a perfect gas that obeys the
state equation:
• where R is the specific gas constant. For air R=287.058 J/Kg/K.
• Air is also assumed to be a calorically perfect gas for which:– e=cvT, where e is the internal energy and cv is the
specific heat at constant volume– h=cpT, where h is the enthalpy and cp is the specific
heat at constant pressure• We also define g=cp/cv. For air, g=1.4.
24
p = ρRT
AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
What is enthalpy?• Enthalpy is the sum of the internal energy
and the product of pressure times volume:
• Note that specific volume is the inverse of density, i.e. v=1/r. All thermodynamic quantities in these slides are defined per unit mass.
• Then the enthalpy is simply a function of temperature:
• But h=cpT, so that:
25
h = e+ pv
h = e+ pρ= e+ RT = (cv + R)T
cv + R = cp
AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
First law of thermodynamics
• The first law of thermodynamics states that energy is conserved:
• Where dq is an incremental amount of heat added to a system, dw is an incremental amount of work done on the system and de is the change in the system’s internal energy.
• Note that the first law of thermodynamics is non-directional:– If you put in contact a hot and a cold object, the hot object
can become hotter and the cold object can become colder as long as energy is conserved.
26
δq+δw = δe
AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
Entropy• The second law of thermodynamics enforces a
direction in processes:– We know from experience that if we put in contact a
hot and a cold object, the hot will become colder and the cold hotter.
• Entropy is a state variable used to enforce this direction:
• This equation is a form of the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
• Processes whereby ds=dq/T are known as reversible. Otherwise, they are irreversible.
27
δs ≥ δqT
AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
Isentropic processes• Adiabatic processes are processes during
which there is no heat addition, i.e. dq=0.• For such processes it can be shown that•
• Isentropic processes are reversible and adiabatic. Then ds=0.
• For such processes it can be shown further that:

Sound• Sound is the information we get from our
ears.• This information concerns weak events
happening around us, whose energy travels in the air in the form of a wave.
• Sound waves are weak and travel with a speed a.
• They cause small changes in the flow parameters behind them.
35
AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
Sound wave• Consider a sound wave travelling in still air with
speed a.• Now consider a frame of reference that moves
with the wave. The speed of the air in front of the wave is a, behind it it is a+da.
• Similarly, the pressure, density and temperature in front of the wave are p, r and T, while behind they are p+dp, r+dr, T+dT.
• Applying 1-D, steady inviscid continuity we get
• Applying 1-D, steady inviscid momentum we get
36
ρa = ρ +dρ( ) a+da( )
p+ ρa2 = p+dp+ ρ +dρ( ) a+da( )2
AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
Speed of sound• Linearising and solving the two equations for a we
get:
• We can further assume that, as the wave is weak and there is no heat addition, sound waves are isentropic. The adiabatic relation gives
• The speed of sound is then given by

Measuring the speed of sound in air
• The first measurements of the speed of sound in air were carried out by measuring the time between seeing the flash of a gun and hearing its report over a known long distance.
• The first such experiments took place in the mid 17th century.
• In 1740, Branconi showed that the speed of sound increases with temperature.
• Modern experiments measure the wavelength l of a sound wave with known frequency f and then calculate the speed of sound from a=fl.
38
AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
Newton and the speed of sound
• Newton was the first to attempt to derive theoretically the speed of sound in air.
• He made the assumption that waves are isothermal, i.e. do not affect the temperature of the air in which they travel.
• The assumption was wrong and therefore the result was wrong.
• How much was he wrong by?39

Mach number• Define the Mach number as:
• The Mach number is used to define flow regimes:– M<1: subsonic flow– M=1: sonic flow– M>1: supersonic flow
• Note that the Mach number can vary in a flow. Hence a flow is subsonic if the Mach number is M<1everywhere in the flow.
• Flows where the local Mach number can be both subsonic and supersonic are known as transonic.
40
M =ua
AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
Exercise• Assuming 1-D, inviscid, steady flow of a
calorically perfect gas show that the Mach number is a measure of the ratio of kinetic to internal energy.
41
AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
Solution• As the flow is 1-D there is only one flow
component, u. • The ratio of kinetic to internal energy
becomes:• For a calorically perfect gas, e=cvT, i.e.
• Recall from the discussion of enthalpy that
• Dividing by cv gives:

Solution (2)• Substitute into ratio of energies to get:
• Multiply numerator and denominator by g:
• Substitute the definition of Mach number:
• Therefore the square of the Mach number is proportional to the ratio of kinetic to internal energy. QED!

Total conditions• Consider a fluid element with speed u, pressure p
and temperature T.• Total conditions are achieved if the element is
isentropically brought to rest, i.e. u=0.• The pressure and temperature values at these
conditions are known as total pressure p0 and total temperature T0 respectively.
• They are also known as stagnation pressure and temperature.
• The speed of sound at total conditions is simply

a0 = γRT0
AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
Total conditions (2)• Assume 1-D steady and inviscid flow and no
heat addition. The energy equation becomes:

Answer• Far upstream the conditions are p1=101325
Pa, r1=1.225 kg/m3 and, using the state equation, T1=288.1 K.
• The speed of sound upstream is a1=340.3 m/s.• Combining the energy equation

γ −1( )+12u2 = constant
AERO0033-1, Aerothermodynamics of High Speed Flows, Lecture 1
Answer (2)• Conditions far upstream are related to conditions
anywhere on the airfoil by
• As M=0.65, u1=221.2m/s. The fastest speed over the airfoil is around 1.4u1. We select this speed as condition 2.
• Solving the equation above we get a2=326.2 m/s.• The Mach number at condition 2 is M2=0.95. The flow
is subsonic.• Note that condition 2 has the lowest speed of sound
and fastest local airspeed. Therefore, if the flow is subsonic there, it will be everywhere.
