Supersonic Jet Flow
The picture shows a snap shot of the flow field generated when fluid leaves a convergent-divergent nozzle at supersonic conditions. The interaction of turbulence structures and shocks in the supersonic jet can be simulated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based on the compressible form of the Navier-Stokes equations. In this specific case, the simulations have been done using Large-Eddy Simulation (LES).
