High-Order Methods for Hypersonic Flows with Strong Shocks and Real Chemistry
High-Order Methods for Hypersonic Flows with Strong Shocks and Real Chemistry
We compare high-order methods including spectral difference (SD), flux reconstruction (FR), the entropy-stable discontinuous Galerkin spectral element method (ES-DGSEM), modal discontinuous Galerkin methods, and WENO to select the best candidate to simulate strong shock waves characteristic of hypersonic flows. We consider several benchmarks, including the Leblanc and modified shock-density wave …
