Abstract
Numerical approaches to simulate viscous hypersonic flows in the continuum- as well as in the gaskinetic-flow regimes are discussed with emphasis on three-dimensional flows. The ideal-gas continuum flow is simulated with an explicit/implicit finite-difference method for the thin-layer approximation of the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations. In two dimensions real-gas effects are implemented using curve-fitting routines for the air properties in chemical equilibrium. Gaskinetic flows are considered based on the direct simulation Monte Carlo approach for the solution of the Boltzmann equation. Real-gas effects are included via an extended Borgnakke-Larsen model in two dimensions. In all approaches the major problem is the lack of appropriate experiments for code validation.
