Qualitative Investigation Of Gaseous Hydrodynamic Mixing Model Efficacy And Associated Sensitivity, Caleb White
Mechanical Engineering ETDs
A mixing model analyzes the mixing of helium (He) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) according to two classical gaseous equations of state (EOS), namely, Amagat’s Law and Dalton’s Law, undergoing planar traveling shocks in three dimensions (3D). Numerical simulations utilize the Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) shock hydrodynamic code CTH and other codes including the SNL thermochemical equilibrium code TIGER and the uncertainty qualification (UQ) and sensitivity analysis code DAKOTA. Comparison with experimental results show that none of the equations of state are able to accurately predict the properties of the shocked mixture; similar discrepancies have been observed in previous …
