Abstract

An algorithm for modeling compressible phenomena in multi-phase, reacting flows is developed. Time-marching preconditioned methodology is used as the algorithmic framework because of its inherent capability of handling multiple flow regimes, such as the incompressible bulk liquid flow, low Mach number compressible vapor flow and transonic/supersonic two-phase mixture flow with predominant thermal effects. A preconditioning system is developed based on the one-dimensional inviscid subsystem and shown to yield a well-conditioned eigensystem. Computational results representative of a hypothetical high-speed supercavitating-vehicle propulsion plume are presented to verify the capabilities of the formulation.
