Description:
Forced and naturally occurring, self-sustaining oscillations of transonic flows in two-dimensional diffusers were computed using MacCormack's hybrid method. Depending upon the shock strengths and the area ratios, the flow was fully attached or separated by either the shock or the adverse pressure gradient associated with the enlarging diffuser area. In the case of forced oscillations, a sinusoidal plane pressure wave at frequency 300 Hz was prescribed at the exit. A sufficiently large amount of data were acquired and Fourier analyzed. The distrbutions of time-mean pressures, the power spectral density, and the amplitude with phase angle along the top wall and in the core region were determined. Comparison with experimental results for the forced oscillation generally gave very good agreement; some success was achieved for the case of self-sustaining oscillation despite substantial three-dimensionality in the test. An observation of the sequence of self-sustaining oscillations was given.
