Using Cp polynomial

Idanst · July 23, 2024, 02:39

Hello,

I am looking to simulate a real gas using a Cp(T) polynomial instead of the constant value of 1004.703 J/kg*K for air.

I noticed a line for CP_POLYCOEFFS in the template SU2 file, but I couldn't find any information on how to enable it. Can this be used with the STANDARD_AIR fluid model, or do I need to select a different model?

Thanks,

It can be used when you set the fluid to incompressible polytropic gas.

From config_template.cfg:

Code:

% ---- IDEAL GAS, POLYTROPIC, VAN DER WAALS AND PENG ROBINSON CONSTANTS -------%
%
FLUID_MODEL= INC_IDEAL_GAS_POLY
SPECIFIC_HEAT_CP= 1004.703
MOLECULAR_WEIGHT= 28.96
CP_POLYCOEFFS= ( 1004.703, 0.1, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0)

An example can be found in Testcases/incomp_navierstokes/cylinder/

Thank you!

I am looking to simulate compressible flow at high Mach numbers, around Mach 5. Could you recommend a more suitable fluid model for this scenario? I plan to account for variations in the heat capacity ratio caused by the high pressures and temperatures.

Hi, sorry for the long wait, so you could maybe also use the NEMO solver, which targets hypersonic flows. There are some examples in the testcases repository.

I'll check it, thank you
