A cold simulant gas study of propulsion/airframe integration for a hypersonic vehicle powered by a scramjet engine is presented. The specific heat ratio of the hot exhaust gases are matched by utilizing a cold mixture of argon and Freon-12. Solutions are obtained for a hypersonic corner flow and a supersonic rectangular flow in order to provide the upstream boundary conditions. The computational test examples also provide a comparison of this flow with that of air as the expanding supersonic jet, where the specific heats are assumed to be constant. It is shown that the three-dimensional computational fluid capabilities developed for these types of flow may be utilized to augment the conventional wind tunnel studies of scramjet afterbody flows using cold simulant exhaust gases, which in turn can help in the design of a scramjet internal-external nozzle.
