Furthermore, this problem can be solved for the case of either a compressible gas or an incompressible fluid. Accurate results are available to check computed solutions for both compressible and incompressible inviscid flows. One set of results should feature constant-velocity contours for general comparisons with the known solution and with other participant s solutions. You should also produce streamline contours for comparison among participants. This problem can be solved by using either Euler s inviscid equations or the Navier-Stokes equations with a turbulence model.
Experimental results are available to check both types of solutions.
These solutions must be produced at times 60 and 87 microseconds after the shock passes the leading edge of the wedge, if they are to be compared with available experimental results. Please contact co-chair, Professor J.J. Gottlieb, for additional information or clarification on these two benchmark problems.
