Summary

A virtual non-viscous gas flow, "normalized" to have a sound velocity of 1 m/s at a temperature of 1 K, flowing in from two directions and colliding each other, is calculated for 10 seconds.

The gas flows in from the region "inlet" at 2.9 m/s (Mach number 2.9) and the region "top" at (2.61933, -0.50632) m/s (Mach number about 2.66), and after colliding, flows out from the region "outlet". The region "bottom" is set to a symmetric boundary.

The turbulence model is not used, and the analysis is performed in 2-dimensions.

The physical properties of the gas are specified in the file constant/thermophysicalProperties as follows.
