Extended continuum models for shock waves in CO2

2021 
Three continuum models extending the conventional Navier–Stokes–Fourier approach for modeling the shock wave structure in carbon dioxide are developed using the generalized Chapman–Enskog method. Multi-temperature models are based on splitting multiple vibrational relaxation mechanisms into fast and slow processes and introducing vibrational temperatures of various CO2 modes. The one-temperature model takes into account relaxation processes through bulk viscosity and internal thermal conductivity. All developed models are free of limitations introduced by the assumptions of a calorically perfect gas and constant Prandtl number; thermodynamic properties and all transport coefficients are calculated rigorously in each cell of the grid. Simulations are carried out for Mach numbers 3–7; the results are compared with solutions obtained in the frame of other approaches: multi-temperature Euler equations, model kinetic equations, and models with constant Prandtl numbers. The influence of bulk viscosity and Prandtl number on the fluid-dynamic variables, viscous stress, heat flux, and total enthalpy is studied. Bulk viscosity plays an important role in sufficiently rarefied gases under weak deviations from equilibrium; in multi-temperature models, non-equilibrium effects are associated with slow relaxation processes rather than with bulk viscosity. Using a constant Prandtl number yields over-predicted values of the heat flux. Contributions of various energy modes to the total heat flux are evaluated, with emphasis on the compensation of translational–rotational and vibrational energy fluxes.
