    Abstract

    This effort aims to understand the complex dynamics of a hypersonic shock interacting with a cylindrical water column through numerical simulations using a commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code, STAR-CCM+. The planar shock was Mach 5 impacting a 22mm cylindrical water column. Utilizing the Schneer-Sauer cavitation model, the simulations compare scenarios with and without cavitation modeling. The research highlights how the formation of a vapor cloud alters the pressures inside a cylindrical water column.
