Evaluation of Euler Fluxes for Hypersonic Heating Computations

چکیده
In hypersonic flow computations, it is a key issue to predict surface heating accurately, though this is still challenging because there always are possibilities of resulting in anomalous solutions. In this paper, three properties for flux functions are proposed: 1) shock stability/robustness, 2) conservation of total enthalpy, and 3) resolving boundary layer. Then, numerical experiments are performed for widely used or recently developed flux functions, and these fluxes are categorized into five major groups based on how they satisfy the three properties. These tests reveal that no flux function investigated here possesses all the three properties. In particular, the first one is not satisfied by any flux functions, including flux-vector-splittings. Finally, contributions of those properties are compared in a two-dimensional, viscous, hypersonic blunt-body problem. Results showed that the first and the third properties are crucial, and the second one is preferred to predict hypersonic heating. A group of flux functions that best satisfies these properties is suggested, and they are recommended either to be used or designed for hypersonic heating computations.

Towards shock-stable and accurate hypersonic heating computations: A new pressure flux for AUSM-family schemes
Hypersonic heating computations are still challenging due to difficulties in “A) robust capturing of shockwaves” and “B) accurate prediction of heating.” Based on our numerical survey for A), we found that the dissipation inside the numerical shock wave structure (where no physical or mathematical explanation is valid) must be proportional to Mach number, in contrast to Mach independent dissipa...

In this paper, an approximate axisymmetric method is developed which can reliably calculate fully viscous hypersonic flow over blunt-nosed bodies. In this method, a Maslen’s second-order pressure expression is used instead of the normal momentum equation. The combination of Maslen’s second-order pressure expression and viscous shock layer equations is developed to accurately and efficiently com...
