Comparison of CFD Calculations with Experiments
For both "weak" and "strong" Mach number cases,for comparison with the calculations, experimental data for four measurements stations after the shock-wave (h1,h2,h3,h4) are selected for the longitudinal velocity as well as pressure distributions along the bottom and the top wall of the diffuser. A representative figure of the shock-wave positions and the measurement stations is shown in fig.9.The x-location of the axial measurement stations are non-dimensionalized with the diffuser throat height,resulting in the following four stations: h1= 2.822,h2= 4.611,h3= 6.340 and h4= 7.493.
