(DURIP) HIGH-SPEED FLOW DIAGNOSTIC FACILITY
Abstract
We request equipment to improve facilities and diagnostics for unsteady aerodynamics and turbulence studies at UNM. We are conducting a DoD-funded study of the fundamental physics relevant to understanding nuclear weapons effects in situations where mixing of multiple gases and interaction between gases and particles/droplets play an important role, for example, in fireballs and shock-debris interactions. This study combines theoretical analysis, numerical modeling, and experiments in a three-university effort to produce better understanding and improved modeling of the physics at interfaces and mixing scales of interest. New small-scale models developed as the result of our work will be incorporated into larger-scale ones to reduce the order of their complexity, while maintaining accurate interface representations. The resulting multiscale reduced-order models are validated using theoretical and experimental results in a priori testing.
