Hello everyone,
I'm trying to run viscous simulation for Supersonic flow over 2D Ramp Air Intake of McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle. But I have a problem with Outlet boundary conditions. As a result of the simulation, when the flow passes through the throat of the air intake, it slows down as expected due to the oblique shocks and decreases to subsonic speeds. But the problem is that as the flow moves towards the outlet, it speeds up again and reaches supersonic speeds. Everything I tried to prevent this was unsuccessful. No matter how much I changed the Outlet Back Pressure, the result was still the same. Should I define the Outlet back pressure more than the static Pressure I have defined for Inlet? It didn't make sense for me. You can see my configuration file and my boundary markers below. I'm also attaching the simulation results from Praview. Could someone help me to understand how should I solve this problem? I would be really appriciate for any kind of suggesstion.

Or should I define the outlet marker as INC_OUTLET_TYPE= MASS_FLOW_OUTLET . Then set a appropriate massflow rate for outlet to be able to decrease the mach towards the outlet.

You should not mix inlets and outlets with farfield when the associated surfaces intersect.
A farfield boundary is both inlet and outlet depending on the flow direction, and both sub and supersonic depending on Mach number. Your domain also looks too small, look for guidelines on how far the boundaries should be from the surface. If it's all supersonic 10x might be enough but don't quote me on that, when in doubt test the sensitivity to your modelling assumptions. |

You are also using a weird mix of methods.
JST is not great for supersonic or for detailed viscous stuff (not our implementation anyway). Try ROE with the van Albada limiter and green Gauss gradients. And SST is probably overkill, SA is usually fine for external aero stuff and you can get away with higher y+. |

But I'm sorry, I just couldn't understand the point about the not mixing inlets and outlets with Farfield. I also ran another simulation without the outside region for the same geometry before as you can see in the attachment picture. However I had the result with same problem. |

I´m having the same problem, I don´t know how to impose a backpressure at the outlet. I´m trying to get the normal shock in the divergent zone, but the flow continues being supersonic, so it gets accelerated. Did you get the solution?

I think the back pressure is setted at the MARKER_OUTLET. I don't know if I understand this correctly.

This reply might be too late, but...
I think the solution is physically correct. The back pressure could be much less than the design condition for the nozzle and the exit flow becomes supersonic. Try increasing the Mach number close to the inlet static pressure (say 0.75 times inlet static pressure) and you may see a subsonic outlet flow. Reviewing gas dynamics of convergent divergent nozzles will help in this regard. |
