Numerical Solution of Non-equilibrium Hypersonic Flows of Diatomic Gases Using the Generalized Boltzmann Equation

چکیده
The paper describes the methodology for computing hypersonic non-equilibrium shock wave flows of diatomic gases using the Generalized Boltzmann Equation (GBE) including both the vibrational translational (VT) and rotational translational (RT) relaxations. For the VT relaxation, GBE is always solved. For the RT relaxation, two approaches are employed. In the first approach, for the RT relaxation GBE is solved. This approach is computationally very intensive since it requires solving the complete GBE for both vibrational and rotational degrees of freedom. In the second approach, a two-level BGK type model of RT relaxation is employed. The second approach is much more efficient than the first (about 20 times faster). The paper describes the two-level RT relaxation model. The model is validated by computing the shock structure at high Mach numbers by comparing the results with the complete GBE solution. Computations are then performed for the shock structure accounting for both the vibrational and rotational excitations, using the second approach for the RT relaxations.

Computations of Hypersonic Flow of a Diatomic Gas in Rotational Non-Equilibrium past 3D Blunt Bodies Using the Generalized Boltzmann Equation
Direct methods for solving the generalized Boltzmann equation are advanced by simulating flow past threedimensional immersed bodies in diatomic nitrogen in rotational-translational non-equilibrium. The simulations are performed by solving the entire domain with the generalized Boltzmann equation using a solver based upon the conservative discrete ordinates method of Tcheremissine. Coarse and re...
متن کاملA Relaxation Scheme for Solving the Boltzmann Equation Based on the Chapman-Enskog Expansion
In [16] a visco-elastic relaxation system, called the relaxed Burnett system, was proposed by Jin and Slemrod as a moment approximation to the Boltzmann equation. The relaxed Burnett system is weakly parabolic, has a linearly hyperbolic convection part, and is endowed with a generalized entropy inequality. It agrees with the solution of the Boltzmann equation up to the Burnett order via the Cha...

The effect of boundary conditions on the accuracy and stability of the numerical solution of fluid flows by Lattice-Boltzmann method
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of boundary conditions on the accuracy and stability of the numerical solution of fluid flows in the context of single relaxation time Lattice Boltzmann method (SRT-LBM). The fluid flows are simulated using regularized, no-slip, Zou-He and bounce back boundary conditions for straight surfaces in a lid driven cavity and the two-dimensional flow ...

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...
