First-order Approximation to the Boltzmann-Curtiss Equations for Flows with Local Spin
Louis B. Wonnell, James Chen
The first-order approximation to the solution of the Boltzmann--Curtiss transport equation is derived. The resulting distribution function treats the rotation or gyration of spheri…

A Morphing Continuum Simulation of Transonic Flow over an Axisymmetric Hill
Louis B. Wonnell, Mohamad I. Cheikh, James Chen
Finite volume simulations of turbulent boundary layer flow over an axisymmetric hill are performed for = 6500 using Morphing Continuum Theory (MCT), and compared with DNS da…

A Morphing Continuum Analysis of Energy Transfer in Compressible Turbulence
Mohamad Ibrahim Cheikh, Louis B Wonnell, James Chen
A shock-preserving finite volume solver with the generalized Lax-Friedrichs splitting flux for Morphing Continuum Theory (MCT) is presented and verified. The numerical MCT solver i…
