Abstract
We present a fully open-source framework for the numerical simulation of Non-Ideal Compressible Fluid Dynamics (NICFD). The open-source Computational Fluid Dynamics suite SU2 is coupled to the open-source thermophysical library CoolProp, which includes state-of-the-art thermodynamic models of numerous pure fluids and mixtures relevant to applications. Accurate thermodynamic models are needed due to non-ideal operating conditions in which the fluid thermodynamics cannot be described by the simple ideal-gas law (). The coupling interface implements new C++ classes, which allow the automatic exchange of information between SU2 and CoolProp, and it is made directly available as an additional module integrated into the open-source SU2 suite. To assess the performance of the NICFD simulation framework, we present three test cases: a nozzle flow exhibiting non-ideal thermodynamics effects, a nozzle flow with non-monotone Mach number variation, a representative non-ideal gasdynamics effect, and a non-classical rarefaction oblique shock over a wedge. Results are verified against available experiment data and solutions obtained with different implementations of non-ideal thermodynamics in SU2. Performance of the new framework is assessed on user-friendliness, scalability, solution accuracy, and computational efficiency.
期刊介绍:
The focus of CPC is on contemporary computational methods and techniques and their implementation, the effectiveness of which will normally be evidenced by the author(s) within the context of a substantive problem in physics. Within this setting CPC publishes two types of paper.
Computer Programs in Physics (CPiP)
These papers describe significant computer programs to be archived in the CPC Program Library which is held in the Mendeley Data repository. The submitted software must be covered by an approved open source licence. Papers and associated computer programs that address a problem of contemporary interest in physics that cannot be solved by current software are particularly encouraged.
Computational Physics Papers (CP)
These are research papers in, but are not limited to, the following themes across computational physics and related disciplines.
mathematical and numerical methods and algorithms;
computational models including those associated with the design, control and analysis of experiments; and
algebraic computation.
Each will normally include software implementation and performance details. The software implementation should, ideally, be available via GitHub, Zenodo or an institutional repository.In addition, research papers on the impact of advanced computer architecture and special purpose computers on computing in the physical sciences and software topics related to, and of importance in, the physical sciences may be considered.
