Truly two-dimensional algorithms for radiative heat transfer calculations in reactive flows (Q1912868): Difference between revisions

The study details the inclusion of radiative heat transfer phenomena in the numerical simulation of reactive hypersonic and atmospheric reentry flows. Truly two-dimensional algorithms are developed for the radiative source term in the governing equations, whereby the determination of the specific intensity field is obtained by means of a numerical integration over directions of propagation of radiation. A few preliminary results are presented for the Mach 47 flow over a cylinder and a sphere, including a comparison of the two-dimensional algorithms with the one-dimensional approximation and an emission-dominated-case.
