Abstract

A generic solver in a structured Cartesian adaptive mesh refinement framework is extended to simulate unsteady shock-induced combustion problems on a structured curvilinear mesh. A second-order accurate finite volume method is used with a grid-aligned Riemann solver for inviscid thermally perfect gas mixtures. To solve these reactive problems, detailed chemical kinetic mechanisms are employed with a splitting approach. The prolongation and restriction operators are modified to implement the adaptive mesh refinement algorithm on a mapped mesh. The developed solver is verified with several benchmark tests and is then used to simulate unsteady shock-induced combustion. The results show that the computed stand-off distance of waves and oscillation frequencies of mass fraction of products observed at the stagnation point are in good agreement with the results from experiments.
