Abstract
The present paper aims to analyze the effects of the diffusion transport properties and chemical kinetics on two-dimensional hypersonic flow in the near-continuum regime. We simulate a five species air mixture with different free stream conditions using both US3D, a code routinely used for complex hypersonic computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, and MGDS, a code capable of large-scale 3D Direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) calculations. We study the effect of the reactions through the comparison between the Park model, the Modified Marrone-Treanor chemical kinetics model, available in US3D, and the total collision energy model, available in MGDS. We observed intriguing discrepancies in the near-wall region. Therefore, we quantify the diffusive transport terms and identify the leading diffusive phenomena. Furthermore, we implemented the transport properties derived from the Chapman-Enskog method for a multi-component mixture and repeated the same test case. All the CFD simulations neglect the thermal diffusion term, which we have found are not negligible at these conditions.
