SIMULATION OF NONSTATIONARY TURBULENT FLOWS IN DEVICES FOR REDUCING THE NOISE LEVEL OF HIGH-PRESSURE GAS MEDIA MOVING WITH A HIGH VELOCITY

Features of the simulation of the thermodynamic and gasdynamic processes occurring in devices for reducing the noise level of a shot from a gun were considered. A simulation of large vortices in the nonstationary turbulent fl ow of powder gases in a muzzle noise reduction device with a silencer representing a shaped channel with several chambers, whose volumes decrease in the direction to the silencer outlet, has been performed. Results of qualitative and quantitative investigations of the initiation, development, and damping of the shock waves in the fl ow of powder gases, formed as a result of the fi ring of a shot made from a signal gun, are presented.
