Description:
Quasi-one-dimensional nonequilibrium nozzle flows with coupled radiative transfer are considered. The strongly coupled formulation of radiation and flowfield leads to a governing set of integro-differential equations. A fully implicit numerical method using the full matrix inversion or block iteration methods is presented to solve these equations. The nonequilibrium gas model consists of two chemical species, molecular and atomic nitrogen. The thermodynamic state of the gas is described by two temperatures, translational-rotational and vibrational, and the thermal radiation is assumed to be governed by the vibrational temperature. In radiative transfer, gases are assumed to be absorbing and emitting, and a detailed spectral dependency of the absorption coefficient is prescribed for a non-gray gas. The numerical solutions of strongly radiating nonequilibrium flows are presented for both gray and non-gray gases.
