Compressibility and vibrational-excitation effects in hypersonic shock-turbulence interaction

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 …

Combustion Toolbox v1.1.0 Development Update

I’m excited to announce that the next big update of our Combustion Toolbox, version 1.1.0, is coming soon! One of the most significant changes in this next version is that the code will adopt the Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) paradigm, replacing the previously used procedural software architecture.

Development of a wide-spectrum thermochemical code with application to planar reacting and non-reacting shocks

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 …

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 …

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''.

Desarrollo de un código termoquímico para la evaluación de las propiedades teóricas de explosivos (CT-EXPLO) y la estimación del rendimiento de motores cohete (CT-ROCKET)

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

Combustion Toolbox: an open source thermochemical code for solving gaseous combustion problems

Short talk presented in the 12th National and III International Conference on Engineering Thermodynamics.

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 …

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 …
