Entropy Stable Discretization of Compressible Flows in Thermochemical Nonequilibrium
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
Entropy stable numerical methods for compressible flow have been demonstrated to exhibit better robustness than purely linearly stable methods and need less overall artificial dissipation for long simulations in subsonic and transonic flows. In this work we seek to extend these benefits to multicomponent, multitemperature flows in thermochemical nonequilibrium such as combustion and hypersonic flight. We first derive entropy functions that symmetrize the governing equations and allow stability proofs for such systems. The impact of diffusion model selection on provable entropy stability is considered in detail, including both rigorous models of irreversible thermodynamics and simplified models of greater practical interest. Based on the proven entropy functions we develop affordable, entropy conservative two-point flux functions for solution in conservation form. We derive entropy conservative fluxes for calorically and thermally perfect mixtures, with heat capacities described by either polynomials of the temperature or formulas from statistical thermodynamics.
