Numerical Methods
Research is being conducted on the development of accurate models that occur in high-speed flows as part of the NOnequilibrium MOdels (NEMO) project within the SU2 development community. These include:
• Implementation of convective schemes for high-Mach flows.
• Mesh adaptation for shock capturing.
• Physical models of kinetic processes for multi-species reacting flows in thermochemical nonequilibrium.
• Turbulence modeling for hypersonic flight.
• Surface chemistry and gas-surface interaction.
High-order numerical methods have the potential to produce results with higher level of accuracy at lower costs than conventional low order methods. Several research areas pertaining to high-order CFD methods are conducted:
• Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods
• Shock-capturing schemes for DG methods
• Scale-resolving simulations using high-order discretizations
• Efficient preconditioner and linear solvers for large-scale high-order discretizations
