چکیده

High Mach number astrophysical jets are simulated using a positive scheme, and are compared with WENO-LF simulations. A version of the positive scheme has allowed us to simulate astrophysical jets with radiative cooling up to Mach number 270 with respect to the heavy jet gas, a factor of two times higher than the maximum Mach number attained with the WENO schemes and ten times higher than with CLAWPACK. Such high Mach numbers occur in many settings in astrophysical flows, so it is important to develop a scheme that can simulate at these Mach numbers.

Numerical Simulation of High Mach Number Astrophysical Jets with Radiative Cooling

Computational fluid dynamics simulations using the WENO-LF method are applied to high Mach number nonrelativistic astrophysical jets, including the effects of radiative cooling. Our numerical methods have allowed us to simulate astrophysical jets at much higher Mach numbers than have been attained (Mach 20) in the literature. Our simulations of the HH 1-2 astrophysical jets are at Mach 80. Simu...

Simulations of Supersonic Astrophysical Jets and Their Environments Using Level Set Methods

Computational fluid dynamics simulations using the WENO method and level set method are applied to high Mach number nonrelativistic astrophysical jets, including the effects of radiative cooling. WENO methods introduced in Liu et al. (J. Comput. Phys., 115:200–212, 1994) have allowed us to simulate HH 1-2 astrophysical jets at Mach number much higher than Mach 80 (Ha et al. in J. Sci. Comput. 2...

Curvilinear grids for WENO methods in astrophysical simulations

We investigate the applicability of curvilinear grids in the context of astrophysical simulations and WENO schemes. With the non–smooth mapping functions from Calhoun et al. [1], we can tackle many astrophysical problems which were out of scope with the standard grids in numerical astrophysics. We describe the difficulties occurring when implementing curvilinear coordinates into our WENO code, ...

Quasi-Static Numerical Simulation of Missile Staging

In this study, the missile staging process by implementing a side-injected jet is simulated numerically. The problem is considered to be axisymmetric and the thin shear layer approximation of Navier-Stokes equations along with an algebraic turbulence model is used in a quasi-static form for the calculations. The free stream corresponds to a very high altitude flight condition with a Mach number...
