Thesis
Simulation of radiation in non-equilibrium and expanding hypersonic flows
- Abstract:
-
The primary aim of this thesis was to develop new and improved methods to simulate radiation in expansion tubes and by extension, improve estimates of the freestream properties. Radiation in hypersonic flows arises as a consequence of particle excitation due to high velocities. Models of the phenomenon must account for many complex physical effects and hence predictions of radiation are often associated with high uncertainty. Additionally, such models are typically tuned to experimental resul...
