hybridCentralSolvers – a set of programs for the simulation of compressible flows in wide Mach number range.
Developed set of programs is using hybrid method of approximation for convection terms, which combines Kurganov-Tadmor scheme for compressible flows and operator splitting technique – PIMPLE (PISO/SIMPLE).
Main particularity of this method consist in usage of Kurganov-Tadmore scheme for convective fluxes, adapted for implicit approximation and in the introduction of blending function, which allows to switch between compressible regime (implicit version of Kurganov- Tadmor scheme) and incompressible regime (mixed PISO-SIMPLE algorithm).
Hybrid method has next advantages.
- Time step value limited only by mean flow velocity Courant number.
- Usage of godunov-type scheme for convective fluxes allows to construct non-osillatory solution.
- Developed method was designed to be universal and it’s current implementation can be applied for the simulation of medium of three different kinds – compressible gas, mixture of compressible gases and homogeneous two phase mixture.
This method was tested for wide range of problems, like one- and two- dimensional flows of perfect inviscid gas, simulation of transonic centrifugal compressors, simulation of liquid ring vacuum pumps, plasma gas dynamics, supersonic jets gas dynamics, wind resonance.
