Particle Methods for Nonequilibrium Hypersonic and Plasma Flows

摘要

Kinetic modelling of nonequilibrium flows is described as it applies to hypersonic phenomenology. A MonteCarlo method is described for the study of species separation on shock wave fronts; a Particle in Cell with Monte CarloCollisions (PIC/MCC) technique is described for the simulation of dust in plasma flows; modelling of nonequilibriumradiation in shock heated gases; implementation of slip models for the description of separation zones occurring in shockboudarylayer interactions.
