Figure 12: Computed effect of vitiation on Mach number<br />

The computed effect is different after each step, probably because the 1D analysis is not appropriate in<br />

such a sudden expansion of the flow.<br />

Figure 13: Computed effect of vitiation on pressure (Pa)<br />

The opposite effect on Mach number and static pressure is visible in figures 12-13. The effect of<br />

vitiation on the computed heat flux (see figure 14) is note worthy: vitiation of the flow, within the assumptions<br />

made, leads to an increase of heat flux (about 5%). In this case, the check-out of a thermal protection or a<br />

cooling circuit should lead to a conservative design.<br />
