Abstract

Real-gas effects on the mean flow and inviscid stability of temporal mixing layers are examined for supercritical heptane/nitrogen and oxygen/hydrogen mixtures. The analysis is based on the compressible Navier–Stokes equations for conservation of mass, momentum, total energy, and species mass, with heat and species-mass fluxes derived from fluctuation-dissipation theory and incorporating Soret and Dufour effects. An approximate form of the equations is used to obtain a system of similarity equations for the streamwise velocity, the temperature, and the mass fraction. The similarity profiles show important real-gas nonideal-mixture effects, particularly for the temperature, in departing from the incompressible error-function similarity solution. Realistic Schmidt and Prandtl numbers were found to be important to the similarity profiles. A linear, inviscid stability analysis is then performed using the similarity profile, as well as analytical error-function profiles, as its basic flow. The stability analysis shows that the similarity profile has larger growth rates at a given wavelength and a shorter more unstable wavelength than the error-function profiles and than an incompressible flow. The similarity profile also has a larger range of unstable wavelengths than the error-function profiles.
