Hypersonic Applications: Physical Models for Interdisciplinary Simulation – On-Demand Short Course (Fall 2021)
OVERVIEW
Hypersonic
numerical simulation developments and improvements are critical to the
advancement of current and future sustained high-speed flights and
interplanetary explorations. In order to achieve a higher degree of fidelity
for the high-enthalpy hypersonic flows, physical models must venture into an
interdisciplinary domain by integrating chemical kinetics, ionization, quantum
transition, radiation, and electromagnetics with aerodynamics. This unique
8-hour on-demand short course is meant to introduce students to physical models for
interdisciplinary simulation of hypersonic applications, emphasizing on
introduction and evaluation of various physical models. Topics include internal
energy excitations, non-equilibrium chemical kinetics, transport properties
(diffusivity, viscosity, and thermal conductivity), energy relaxations,
radiative heat transfer, weakly ionized gas, and surface ablation.
