A Gas-Kinetic Scheme for Multimaterial Flows and Its Application in Chemical Reaction

This paper concerns the extension of the multicomponent gas-kinetic BGK-type scheme to multidimensional chemical reactive flow calculations. In the kinetic model, each component satisfies its individual gas-kinetic BGK equation and the equilibrium states of both components are coupled in space and time due to the momentum and energy exchange in the course of particle collisions. At the same time, according to the chemical reaction rule one component can be changed into another component with the release of energy, where the reactant and product could have different gamma. Many numerical test cases are included in this paper, which show the robustness and accuracy of kinetic approach in the description of multicomponent reactive flows.

PIC numerical scheme for a two-dimensional Eulerian code

The present work uses the PIC method with operator splitting to hydroelastoplastic multimaterial flow problems in 2D Eulerian coordinates. The operator splitting procedures are carried out in both Lagrangian and remap phases with alternating direction for each time advancement to maintain the accuracy of one-dimensional scheme. A detail description of the numerical approximations is given with a sample calculation of a tungsten rod penetrating an aluminum target.
