Particle Computations of Hypersonic Shock Interaction Flows

Abstract

Development is described of a hybrid DSMC/CFD code for physically accurate and numerically efficient computation of hypersonic, viscous-interaction flows. Recent studies focus on the application and assessment of a hybrid code to a blunted cone configuration and to improvement of physical models used in the code.
