A second-order unified gas-kinetic wave-particle method with enhanced mesh independence for hypersonic flows
Junzhe Cao, Rui Zhang, Wenpei Long +2
Benefiting from the direct modeling of physical laws in a discretized space and the automatic decomposition of the gas distribution function into hydrodynamic waves and particles,…
The extended gas-kinetic theory from Pullin equation: the relaxation rates, transport coefficients and model equation
Sha Liu, Ningchao Ding, Ming Fang +4
The Borgnakke-Larsen model, widely used in rarefied flow predictions, serves as the mainstream energy-exchange kernel for polyatomic gases. However, it lacks integrability and does…
A novel Cercignani-Lampis boundary model for discrete velocity methods in predicting rarefied and multi-scale flows
Jianfeng Chen, Sha Liu, Rui Zhang +5
To extend the discrete velocity method (DVM) and unified methods to more realistic boundary conditions, a Cercignani-Lampis (CL) boundary with different momentum and thermal energy…
A global adaptive velocity space for general discrete velocity framework in predictions of rarefied and multi-scale flows
Jianfeng Chen, Sha Liu, Rui Zhang +3
The rarefied flow and multi-scale flow are crucial for the aerodynamic design of spacecraft, ultra-low orbital vehicles and plumes. By introducing a discrete velocity space, the Bo…
