Combustion Toolbox: An open-source thermochemical code for gas- and condensed-phase problems involving chemical equilibrium

We present a new thermochemical code---hereafter referred to as Combustion Toolbox (CT)---for the solution of problems that involve chemical equilibrium of gas- and condensed-phase species. The kernel of the code is based in the theoretical framework …

Linear analysis on shock-turbulence interaction implemented with the Combustion Toolbox

In this seminar, we present the development of an in-house thermochemical code ---hereafter referred to as Combustion Toolbox (CT)--- for the solution of problems that involve chemical equilibrium of gas- and condensed-phase species. The …

Linear Theory of Hypersonic Shocks Interacting with Turbulence in Air

Oral presentation in the 2023 AIAA SciTech Forum

Amplificación de la turbulencia a través de una onda de choque en régimen hipersónico

Short talk (b) presented in the 9th ''Congreso Nacional de I+D en Defensa y Seguridad''.

Theory of turbulence augmentation across hypersonic shock waves in air

The interaction between a weakly turbulent free stream of air and a hypersonic shock wave is investigated theoretically by using linear interaction analysis (LIA). The perturbation-free jump conditions across the shock are computed using Combustion …

Theory of turbulence augmentation across hypersonic shock waves

The interaction between a weakly turbulent free stream and a hypersonic shock wave is investigated theoretically by using linear interaction analysis (LIA). Modified Rankine-Hugoniot jump conditions that account for dissociation and vibrational …

Development of an open-source thermochemical code: Fundamentals and application to shock turbulence interaction problems in the hypersonic regime

In this seminar, we present the development of an in-house thermochemical code (hereafter Combustion-Toolbox) that can be applied to gaseous combustion problems. The code stems from the minimization of the Gibbs–Helmholtz free energy by using …

Theory of turbulence augmentation across hypersonic shock waves

Oral presentation in the 74th Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society’s Division of Fluid Dynamics

Combustion Toolbox is now available for testing

In the poster presented at the XI Mediterranean Combustion Symposium we introduced our first steps toward the development of an open-source wider-scope thermochemical tool. It’s been a while since then and we’re excited to say that Combustion-Toolbox (CT) is now available for testing.

Combustion Toolbox: A MATLAB-GUI based open-source tool for solving gaseous combustion problems

In this work, we present the development of a new thermochemical code (hereafter Combustion Toolbox, CT) that can be applied to gaseous combustion problems, even with condensed species. The kernel of the code is based in NASA’s Chemical Equilibrium …
