The interaction of turbulence with shock waves significantly modulates the frequency and amplitude of hydrodynamic fluctuations encountered by aerospace vehicles in low-altitude hypersonic flight. In these high-speed flows, intrinsic compressibility …
The recent scientific and technological advancements have underscored the critical necessity for reliable, robust, and efficient numerical codes capable of predicting the chemical composition and properties of complex mixtures at chemical …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
