Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of numerical simulation of rarefied gas dynamics, and more particularly to an improved discrete velocity method for non-equilibrium calculation of diatomic molecule rotation. Background Art

[0002] The phenomenon of non-equilibrium flow across multiple flow domains is widely present in aerospace engineering, such as hypersonic near-space vehicles, re-entry capsules, and aircraft engines. Due to the thin atmosphere in near-space, vehicles can fly at relatively high Mach numbers, making it a strategic priority for various countries today. However, when a vehicle flies at high speed, the gas around the windward area, such as the leading edge, is highly compressed, resulting in a small molecular mean free path and a high collision frequency, exhibiting the characteristics of a continuous flow domain. In areas such as the trailing edge, the gas is in a highly rarefied state due to the "vacuum" effect. The study of near-space vehicles presents many difficulties due to the highly non-equilibrium and unstable flow fields surrounding them and the fact that they span multiple flow domains. Currently, due to the difficulty and high cost of experiments, numerical simulation is the main method used to study such problems.

[0003] Traditional macroscopic methods, such as the Euler equations or the Navier-Stokes equations, adopt the continuity assumption and assume that the flow field is always in equilibrium. They ignore the non-equilibrium effects caused by gas discontinuity and are completely unsuitable for numerical simulation of rarefied flow problems.

[0004] The Boltzmann equation, derived from the kinetic theory of gases, describes the temporal evolution of the distribution function of gas molecules. Compared to the Navier-Stokes equations, it breaks free from the limitation of the continuous medium assumption. Therefore, the Boltzmann equation is theoretically capable of describing flow problems from continuous flow to rarefied flow.

[0005] Solving the Boltzmann equation requires integration over the particle's velocity space. During simulation, the particle velocity space is usually truncated to a certain region and discretized into a finite number of velocity integration points. The resulting governing equation is usually called the discrete velocity Boltzmann equation (DVBE), and the numerical method for solving the DVBE is usually called the discrete velocity method (DVM).

[0006] To achieve better stability, traditional discrete velocity methods typically employ a semi-implicit discretization scheme for the collision term of the Boltzmann equation. This involves using macroscopic quantities at the current moment to estimate the equilibrium distribution function at the next moment, which is then used to calculate the collision term. This approach also ignores the effects of particle collisions at cell interfaces, requiring a physical mesh size smaller than the mean free path of particle collisions to ensure accurate results. Consequently, this approach suffers from low computational efficiency and poor accuracy in continuous and near-continuous flow regimes where particle collisions are frequent.

[0007] The improved discrete velocity method achieves an accurate estimation of the equilibrium state by introducing a macroscopic adjoint equation, thereby enabling a fully implicit discretization of the collision term of the Boltzmann equation. It also accounts for particle collision effects when calculating the macroscopic flux at the cell interface, resolving the aforementioned issue of mesh size being limited by the molecular mean free path. This method offers high accuracy and computational efficiency in full-scale simulations. However, this method currently only supports the numerical simulation of monatomic gas flows and has yet to address the numerical simulation of diatomic gas flows. In practical engineering applications, air, the primary research subject, consists primarily of diatomic molecules, oxygen and nitrogen. Furthermore, the rotational excitation temperatures of oxygen and nitrogen are 2.08 K and 2.07 K, respectively, indicating that the rotational degrees of freedom of molecules should be considered in most numerical simulations. In particular, in thermal nonequilibrium flows involving shock waves, the translational and rotational temperatures of certain regions within the flow field are not equal and should not be represented by the same temperature. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an improved discrete velocity method that can account for the rotational degrees of freedom of molecules to achieve more realistic numerical simulations of full-scale gas flows.

[0124] To facilitate understanding of the improved discrete velocity method for calculating the rotational non-equilibrium effect of diatomic molecules proposed in the embodiment of the present invention, and to verify the accuracy and full-flow-domain characteristics of the present invention, this embodiment is analyzed and explained in detail through the following examples.

[0125] The one-dimensional nitrogen shock tube is a classic example for verifying the ability of numerical simulation methods to handle complex nonequilibrium flow problems. It places high demands on the stability, accuracy, and computational efficiency of the numerical simulation methods, and the existence of multiple reference solutions makes it an excellent example for verifying the effectiveness of this embodiment in simulating flow problems involving the rotational nonequilibrium effects of diatomic molecules.

[0127] Different Knudsen numbers Kn = 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, the rotational collision number Z = 2.4, and the global CFL number 0.8. The physical space is x∈[0,1], uniformly discretized into 200 grid cells, and the initial values ​​of the macroscopic physical quantities are as follows:

[0134] Figure 2 The distribution curves of equilibrium temperature and rotation temperature at t = 0.2s are shown for different Knudsen numbers. Figure 2 It can be seen that with the increase of the Knudsen number, the rarefaction effect is enhanced, and the gap between the equilibrium temperature and the rotational temperature gradually widens, indicating that the rotational non-equilibrium effect is also enhanced; the calculation results of the current algorithm are in good agreement with the results of the unified gas kinetic scheme (UGKS) and the multiscale discrete velocity method (MDVM) used as reference solutions, verifying that the present invention has the ability to simulate the flow containing the rotational non-equilibrium effect of diatomic molecules in the entire flow domain.

[0135] The above-described embodiments merely represent several preferred implementations of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art can make several improvements and substitutions without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and such improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this patent application shall be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
