Multi-scale Modelling of the Two-Dimensional Flow Dynamics in a Stationary Supersonic Hot Gas Expansion
نویسندگان
چکیده
A stationary hot gas jet supersonically expanding into a low pressure environment is studied through multi-scale numerical simulations. A hybrid continuum-molecular approach is used to model the flow. Due to the low pressure and high thermodynamic gradients, the accuracy of continuum mechanics results are doubtful, while, because of its excessive time expenses, a full molecular method is not feasible. The results of the proposed hybrid continuum-molecular approach have been successfully validated against experimental data. An important question for the full understanding of the processes governing the flow is addressed: the demonstration of an invasion of the supersonic part of the flow by background particles. Through the tracking of particles and collisions in the supersonic region it could be definitively proven that background particles are present in this region. We present a complete two dimensional picture of how the invading background particles distribute and collide with local particles into the supersonic region.

n this work, computational fluid dynamics of the flow behavior in a cold flow of fluidized bed is studied. An improved finite volume based finite element method has been introduced to solve the two-phase gas/solid flow hydrodynamic equations. This method uses a collocated grid, where all variables are located at the nodal points. The fluid dynamic model for gas/solid two-phase flow is based on ...

In this paper an upwind algorithm based on Roe’s scheme is presented for solution of PNS equations. Non iterative-implicit method using finite volume technique is used. The main advantage of this approach, in comparison with similar upwind methods, is reduction of oscillations around sonic line. This advantage causes the present method to be able to analyze supersonic flows with free stream Mac...
