APPLICATION OF FLUX-VECTOR-SPLITTING SCHEME TO A DILUTE GAS–PARTICLE JPL NOZZLE FLOW

A time-dependent numerical algorithm is developed for the two-fluid model Euler of TLNS (thin layer Navier–Stokes) equations. The analysis is based on a MUSCL (monotone upstream central scheme for conservation laws)-type flux-vector-splitting scheme with the multi-level technique. This algorithm is applied to investigate JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) nozzle flow. Calculated results for both one- and two-phase flows are given to show the accuracy, the computational efficiency and the particle influence on the flow field.
