Advanced Non-Equilibrium Modelling for Hypersonic Applications

Abstract

In this final report we provide a detailed account of how to call the subroutines of the Mutation library in the context of a practical computational fluid dynamics (CFD) application. The subroutines which were documented in the previous report are shown how to be called in a detailed, step-by-step fashion, from computation of the thermodynamic properties to the transport properties. Specific emphasis is given to integrating the Mutation library with external CFD solvers provided by the user. This is accomplished by providing detailed source code which shows exactly how the library subroutines are to be called. The source code is fully-functioning and may serve as a template for users to build their solvers around that will enable researchers working with the Mutation library to integrate their applications with ease. The subroutines and example code herein, provided in three different computing languages, are a direct implementation of the theory discussed in the second report. Every attempt has been made to use consistent nomenclature and notation, so that the code provided here can be easily compared with the theoretical description.
