Numerical Simulation of the Ramac Benchmark Test

Abstract

Numerical simulations of the same Ramac geometry and initial conditions by different numerical and physical models highlight the variety of solutions possible. The benchmark test was defined and announced within the community of Ramac researchers. Three laboratories undertook the project. The numerical simulations include Navier-Stokes and Euler simulations with various levels of physical models and equations of state. The non-reactive part of the simulation produced similar steady state results in the three simulations. The chemically reactive part of the simulation produced widely different outcomes. The original experimental data and experimental conditions are presented. A description of each computer code and the resulting flowfield is included. A comparison between codes and results is achieved.
