    Abstract
    In this study, the existence of a sinusoidal splitter on the formation and distribution of hydrogen and air co-jets are investigated in a dual-combustion ramjet engine. The main scope of this research is to analyze the comprehensive flow structure and flame features directly downstream of the sinusoidal splitter. In this work, shockwave/shear-layer interactions behind the sinusoidal splitter are thoroughly studied through a computational fluid dynamic approach. Two different splitter profiles are compared with a simple splitter to demonstrate the main effects of multi shock wave interactions on fuel distribution and penetrations. To simulate co-air jet, Reynolds Average Navier-Stocks... 

    Physical aspects of rarefied gas flow in micro to nano scale geometries using DSMC

    , Article 39th AIAA Fluid Dynamics Conference, 22 June 2009 through 25 June 2009, San Antonio, TX ; 2009 ; 9781563479755 (ISBN) Roohi, E ; Darbandi, M ; Mirjalili, V ; Schneider, G. E ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    Rarefied gas flow in micro/nano electro mechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) does not perform exactly as that in macro-scale devices. The main goal in this study is to investigate mixed subsonic-supersonic flows in micro/nano channels and nozzles and to provide physical descriptions on their behaviors. We use DSMC method as a reliable numerical tool to extend our simulation. It is because the DSMC provides accurate solution for the Boltzmann equations over the entire range of rarefied flow regime or Knudsen numbers. As is known, the appearance of oblique/normal shocks at the inlet of a channel or a nozzle adds to the complexity of internal flow field analyses. We found some very unique physical...
