Discrete Velocity Models for the Numerical Simulation of Gas Mixtures in the Transition Regime from Rarefied Gas Dynamics to Fluid Mechanics

• Applicant: Professor Dr. Hans Babovsky
• Subject Area: Mathematics
• Term: from 2017 to 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 393468618

The project concerns the design of discrete velocity models for the numerical simulation of gas flows in the transition region between rarefied gas theory and fluid dynamics.Based on the results of a previous project, the focus lies on the simulation of real gas effects, in particular gas mixtures. Another focus is the investigation of algebraic properties, particularly of three-dimensional models.We will derive and implement efficient numerical schemes on parallelized architectures (CUDA).
