Stabilized finite element scheme for high speed flows with chemical non-equilibrium
A streamline upwind Petrov-Galerkin finite element method is presented for the case of a reacting mixture of thermally-perfect gases, using chemical non-equilibrium. Details of the stabilization scheme and nonlinear solution are presented. The authors have independently implemented the proposed algorithm in two separate codes, for both single temperature and and two temperature models. Example problems invoving a cylinder in Mach 20 crossflow, as well as a three-dimensional blunt nosetip are shown and compared to established codes.
