Numerical Simulation of Thermo-Chemical Non-Equilibrium Hypervelocity Flows

Thermo - chemical dynamics and chemical quasi - equilibrium of plasmas in thermal non - equilibrium

Plasmas have a broad field of applications, such as air-breathing hypersonic vehicles (plasma control for scramjet engine), spacecraft atmospheric entries (influence of precursor electrons and prediction of blackout phenomenon), high-enthalpy wind tunnels (plasmatron, arc-jet, and shock tube facilities), lightning phenomena, discharges at atmospheric pressure, laboratory nuclear fusion and astr...

Numerical Simulation of Non-Newtonian Inelastic Flows in Channel based on Artificial Compressibility Method

In this study, inelastic constitutive modelling is considered for the simulation of shear-thinning fluids through a circular channel. Numerical solutions are presented for power-law inelastic model, considering axisymmetric Poiseuille flow through a channel. The numerical simulation of such fluid is performed by using the Galerkin finite element approach based on artificial compression method (...

Splitting Schemes for the Simulation of Non Equilibrium Radiative Flows

This paper is devoted to the numerical investigation of radiative hydrodynamics equations. We focus on non–equilibrium regimes and we design asymptotic preserving schemes which can handle the corresponding stiff equations. Our study includes relativistic effects and Doppler corrections.
