Research Showcase: Professor Schwartzentruber's research involves the continued development of hybrid particle-continuum numerical methods. Such a method is useful when large gradients are present in high-altitude flows. The above example shows a hybrid simulation of a hollow cylinder-flare geometry which involves strong shock interactions (similar to control surfaces on hypersonic cruise vehicles). The bottom portion of the figure shows in which regions the particle method is utilized. Click here for more info. |
