A Computationally Efficient Approach to Hypersonic Reacting Flows

  • Conference paper

Abstract

Reproducing hypersonic flight conditions in ground based facilities is a very challenging problem due to the high enthalpies required in the test gas, while simultaneously trying to match the post shock gas composition seen in flight. Experimental facilities have made significant progress in reproducing accurately hypersonic flows, but these facilities generally face issues associated with high operating costs and relatively short and noisy test times. This necessitates the need for high fidelity numerical simulations to aid with the investigation of these flows.
