Development of a new solver for homogenous mixture based on regularized gas dynamic equation system

Abstract The paper presents an improved approach for modeling multicomponent gas mixtures based on quasi‐gasdynamic equations. The proposed numerical algorithm is implemented as a reactingQGDFoam solver based on the open‐source OpenFOAM platform. The following problems have been considered for validation: the Riemann problems, the backward facing step problem, the interaction of a shock wave with a heavy and a light gas bubble, the unsteady underexpanded hydrogen jet flow in an air. The stability and convergence parameters of the proposed numerical algorithm are determined. The simulation results are found to be in agreement with analytical solutions and experimental data.
