Multi-scale k-distribution model for gas mixtures in hypersonic nonequilibrium flows
نویسنده
چکیده
A k-distribution model is presented for gas mixtures in thermodynamic nonequilibrium, containing strongly radiating atomic species N and O together with molecular species of N2, N2 , NO and O2. In the VUV range of the spectrum there is strong absorption of atomic radiation by bands of N2. For this spectral range, a multi-scale model is presented, where RTEs are solved separately for each emitting species and overlap with other species is treated in an approximate way. Methodology for splitting the gas mixture into scales and evaluation of the overlap parameter betweendifferent scales is presented. The accuracy of the new model is demonstrated by solving the radiative transfer equation along the stagnation line flow field of the Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV). & 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Hybrid Particle-Continuum Methods for Nonequilibrium Gas and Plasma Flows
Two different hybrid particle-continuum methods are described for simulation of nonequilibrium gas and plasma dynamics. The first technique, used for nonequilibrium hypersonic gas flows, uses either a continuum description or a particle method throughout a flow domain based on local conditions. This technique is successful in reproducing the results of full particle simulations at a small fract...

An accurate and compact part-spectrum k-distribution database has been developed for the two most important radiating species N and O encountered in hypersonic nonequilibrium flows. The database allows users to calculate the desired full-spectrum k-distributions through look-up and interpolation, providing an efficient means to perform radiative transfer calculations. A detailed methodology of ...

متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Hypersonic Boundary-Layer Instability in a Real Gas with Two-Dimensional Surface Roughness
Experimental and numerical results have shown that two-dimensional surface roughness can stabilize a hypersonic boundary layer dominated by second-mode instability. It is sought to understand how this physical phenomenon extends from an airflow under a perfect gas assumption to that of a real gas. To these ends, a new high-order shock-fitting method that includes thermochemical nonequilibrium a...
متن کاملStudy of Parameters Affecting Separation Bubble Size in High Speed Flows using k-ω Turbulence Model
Shock waves generated at different parts of vehicle interact with the boundary layer over the surface at high Mach flows. The adverse pressure gradient across strong shock wave causes the flow to separate and peak loads are generated at separation and reattachment points. The size of separation bubble in the shock boundary layer interaction flows depends on various parameters. Reynolds-averaged...
