A Multiscale Particle Approach for Continuum/Rarefied Flow Simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A hybrid particle scheme is presented for the simulation of compressible gas flows involving both continuum regions and rarefied regions with strong translational nonequilibrium. The direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method is applied in rarefied regions, while remaining portions of the flowfield are simulated using a DSMC-based low diffusion particle method for inviscid flow simulation. The hybrid scheme is suitable for either steady-state or unsteady flow problems, and can simulate gas mixtures comprising an arbitrary number of species. Numerical procedures are described for strongly coupled twoway information transfer between continuum and rarefied regions, and additional procedures are outlined for the determination of continuum breakdown. The hybrid scheme is evaluated through a comparison with DSMC simulation results for a Mach 6 flow of N2 over a cylinder, and very good overall agreement is observed.

For multiscale gas flows, the kinetic-continuum hybrid method is usually used to balance the computational accuracy and efficiency. However, the kinetic-continuum coupling is not straightforward since the coupled methods are based on different theoretical frameworks. In particular, it is not easy to recover the nonequilibrium information required by the kinetic method, which is lost by the cont...
