Abstract

Abstract: A wedge is triangular shaped geometricalstructure. It is mostly used as supersonic airfoils and nose of supersonicairplanes. It is typically inclined plane which is at an angle with thehorizontal. This project helps in explaining most of the concepts related towedge. In this project the principle of working of wedges with the variation ofhalf-wedge angle and also with variation of Mach number has been done.Theoretical analysis of supersonic flow over wedge is also done. The variationof flow parameters like Pressure, Temperature and Mach number is visualisedusing computational fluid Dynamics and it’s contours and graphs has beenplotted.  The simulation of shockwave(attached and detached) through CFD is also analyzed. To look at the flowqualitatively. You will solve problem in Fluent and hexa mesh in ICEMCFD.  We will use online shock calculator to seeMach number after each step and as well as the flow angle.
