Abstract
The gas dynamics of single-phase nonreacting fluids whose thermodynamic states are close to vapor-liquid saturation, close to the vapor-liquid critical point, or in supercritical conditions differs quantitatively and qualitatively from the textbook gas dynamics of dilute, ideal gases. Due to nonideal fluid thermodynamic properties, unconventional gas dynamic effects are possible, including nonclassical rarefaction shock waves and the nonmonotonic variation of the Mach number along steady isentropic expansions. This review provides a comprehensive theoretical framework of the fundamentals of nonideal compressible fluid dynamics (NICFD). The relation between nonideal gas dynamics and the complexity of the fluid molecules is clarified. The theoretical, numerical, and experimental tools currently employed to investigate NICFD flows and related applications are reviewed, followed by an overview of industrial processes involving NICFD, ranging from organic Rankine and supercritical CO2 cycle power systems to supercritical processes. The future challenges facing researchers in the field are briefly outlined.
期刊介绍:
The Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics is a longstanding publication dating back to 1969 that explores noteworthy advancements in the field of fluid mechanics. Its comprehensive coverage includes various topics such as the historical and foundational aspects of fluid mechanics, non-newtonian fluids and rheology, both incompressible and compressible fluids, plasma flow, flow stability, multi-phase flows, heat and species transport, fluid flow control, combustion, turbulence, shock waves, and explosions.
Recently, an important development has occurred for this journal. It has transitioned from a gated access model to an open access platform through Annual Reviews' innovative Subscribe to Open program. Consequently, all articles published in the current volume are now freely accessible to the public under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license.
This new approach not only ensures broader dissemination of research in fluid mechanics but also fosters a more inclusive and collaborative scientific community.
