| Abstract | We analyze the response of passive mixing to shock wave in a density-stratified supersonic shear layer by means of direct numerical simulation with a high-order hybrid compact-WENO scheme. The coexistence gradients of density and pressure have a complex influence on generation of baroclinic vorticity, depending on the gradient directions. The growth rate of mixing layer thickness is increased by the presence of shock wave, but the mixing layer thickness is not always increased. The passive mixing can be enhanced in a thickened shear layer by the incident shock wave if the homodromous vortexes are induced by the baroclinic torque. The mixing efficiency is also enhanced by increasing the density difference of two streams. The present study can be helpful to take measures to strengthen the mixing process in supersonic shear flows. |
