The time implicit point SGS scheme is applied to compute hypersonic viscous flows in thermochemical nonequilibrium. The performance of the point SGS scheme is then compared with those of the line SGS and the LU-SGS schemes. Comparison of convergence histories with the effect of multiple forward and backward sweeps are made for the flow over a 2D cylinder experimentally studied by Hornung and the flow over a hemisphere at conditions corresponding to the peak heating condition during the reentry flight of an SSTO vehicle. Results indicate that the point SGS scheme with multiple sweeps is as robust and efficient as the line SGS scheme. For the point SGS and the LU-SGS scheme, the rate of improvement in convergence is largest with two sweep cycles. However, for the line SGS scheme, it is found that more than one sweep cycle deteriorates the convergence rate.

The rapid expansion or condensible gas such as moist air of steam gives rise to nonequilibrium condensation. As a result of irreversibility of condensation process in the supersonic cascade flow of low pressure steam turbine, the entropy of the flow is increased, and the efficiency of the turbine is decreased. In the present study, to investigate the flow of moist air in 2-dimensional cascade made as the configuration of the tip section of the last actual steam turbine moving blade, the static pressure at both sides of pressure and suction of blade are measured by static pressure taps and the distribution of Mach number on both surfaces of the blade are obtained by using the measured static pressure. Also, the flow field is visualized by a schlieren system. From the experimental results, the effects of the stagnation temperature and specific humidity on the flow properties in a 2-dimensional stationary cascade of a practical steam turbine blade are clearly identified.

The effects of nonequilibrium condensation on the shock boundary layer interaction over a transonic bump model were investigated experimentally and numerically. An experiment was conducted using a supersonic indraft wind tunnel. A droplet growth equation was incorporated into two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation systems. Computations were carried out using a third-order MUSCL type TVD finite-difference scheme with a second-order fractional time step. Computation compared with the experimental results. Nonequilibirum condensation suppressed the boundary layer separation and the pressure fluctuations due to the shock boundary layer interaction. Especially the nonequilbrium condensation was helpful to suppress the high frequency components of the pressure fluctuations.

A rapid expansion of moist air of condensible gas through a supersonic nozzle gives rise to condensation of nonequilibrium and equilibrium processes. Because most of the effects of condensation on the flow are caused by process of nonequilibrium condensation, it is very important to know the onset. condition of nonequilibrium condensation. In the present study, the relation between the initial relative stagnation humidity and the onset Mach number, for the case of the similarity law suggested by Zierep and Lin. Furthermore, the present theoretical result number is compared with the experimental, numerical and other results.

For the purpose of preventing the flow undulation in the cascade of steam turbine, the blades are made into a constant expansion rate in static pressure. And the flow in those cascades is transonic or supersonic in the range of 0.7-2.0 in Mach number. As a consequence, an oblique shock wave, known as inner or outer edge shock wave, arises in the flow of cascades. Especially when the steam in cascades is in a state of high wetness, nonequilibrium condensation and condensation shock wave occur, and they give rise to an interference with oblique shock wave. In the present study the case of expansion of moist air through a supersonic nozzle of constant expansion rate, which behaves similar to that of wet steam, was adopted. The effect of nonequilibrium condensation on the oblique shock wave generated by placing the wedge into the supersonic part of the nozzle was investigated. Furthermore, the relationship between nonequilibrium condensation zone and incident point of the oblique shock wave, oblique shock wave angle, the variations of angles of incident and reflected shock waves due to the variation of initial stagnation supersaturation and the relationship between the height of Mach stem and initial stagnation supersaturation are discussed.

To analyze the fluid flow and thermal characteristics in a nanoscale system, the planar Poiseuille flow of a Lennar-Jones liquid through parallel plates formed by fixed atoms is studied using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The role of important simulation parameters such as the channel width, the magnitude of external field, the temperatures of the top and bottom plates, and the interaction potential parameter between fluid and wall atoms, which affect flow patterns and heat transfer rate inside the channel, are investigated. Under the various simulation conditions, interesting phenomena deviated from the continuum predictions have found.

This paper presents a numerical model of multi phase flow of the mixtures of molten material-liquid-vapor, particularly in thermal nonequilibrium. It is a two-dimensional, transient, three-fluid model in Eulerian coordinates. The equations are solved numerically using the finite difference method that implicitly couples the rates of phase changes, momentum, and energy exchange to determine the pressure, density, and velocity fields. To examine the model's ability to predict an experimental data, calculations have been performed for tests of pouring hot particles and molten material into a water pool. The predictions show good agreement with the experimental data. It appears, however, that the interfacial heat transfer and breakup of molten material need improved models that can be applied to such high temperature, high pressure, multi phase flow conditions.

In this study, we adopt the point symmetric Gauss-Seidel relaxation algorithm to obtain the steady state solution of the Navier-Stokes equations for the thermal and chemical nonequilibrium flow of air. All of the inviscid, viscous flux Jacobians and thermochemical source Jacobians are included in the implicit part Numerical simulation is performed for the thermal and chemical nonequilibrium flow over blunt body and computational results are presented. The convergence history and CPU time of the present computation are compared with the LU-SGS scheme which employs the approximate Jacobians.
