Application of WENO-positivity-preserving schemes to highly under-expanded jets
The starting transient of highly under-expanded supersonic jets is studied by means of very high resolution weighted essentially non oscillatory finite volume schemes, coupled with a positivity-preserving scheme in order to ensure positivity of pressure and density for high compression/expansion ratio. Numerical behaviour of the schemes is investigated in terms of grid resolution, formal accuracy and different approximated Riemann solvers. The transient flow field is also discussed
