# Thermochemical Nonequilibrium Navier-Stokes #

| Solver | Version |
| --- | --- |
| `NEMO_NAVIER_STOKES` | 7.0.0 |


To simulate hypersonic flows in thermochemical nonequilibrium, SU2-NEMO solves the Navier-Stokes equations for reacting flows, expressed in differential form as

$$ \mathcal{R}(U) = \frac{\partial U}{\partial t} + \nabla \cdot \bar{F}^{c}(U) - \nabla \cdot \bar{F}^{v}(U,\nabla U) - S = 0 $$

where the conservative variables are the working variables and given by

$$U = \left \{ \rho_{1}, \dots, \rho_{n_s}, \rho \bar{v}, \rho E, \rho E_{ve} \right \}^\mathsf{T}$$

$$S$$ is a source term composed of

$$S = \left \{ \dot{w}_{1}, \dots, \dot{w}_{n_s}, \mathbf{0}, 0, \dot{\theta}_{tr:ve} + \sum_s \dot{w}_s E_{ve,s} \right \}^\mathsf{T}$$

and the convective and viscous fluxes are

$$\bar{F}^{c} = \left \{ \begin{array}{c} \rho_{1} \bar{v} \\ \vdots \\ \rho_{n_s} \bar{v} \\ \rho \bar{v} \otimes \bar{v} + \bar{\bar{I}} p \\ \rho E \bar{v} + p \bar{v} \\ \rho E_{ve} \bar{v} \end{array} \right \}$$

and

$$\bar{F}^{v} = \left \{ \begin{array}{c} \\- \bar{J}_1 \\ \vdots \\ - \bar{J}_{n_s} \\ \bar{\bar{\tau}} \\ \bar{\bar{\tau}} \cdot \bar{v} + \sum_k \kappa_k \nabla T_k - \sum_s \bar{J}_s h_s \\ \kappa_{ve} \nabla T_{ve} - \sum_s \bar{J}_s E_{ve} \end{array} \right \}$$

In the equations above, the notation is is largely the same as for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. An individual mass conservation equation is introduced for each chemical species, indexed by $$s \in \{1,\dots,n_s\}$$. Each conservation equation has an associated source term, $$\dot{w}_{s}$$ associated with the volumetric production rate of species $$s$$ due to chemical reactions occuring within the flow.

Chemical production rates are given by $$ \dot{w}_s = M_s \sum_r (\beta_{s,r} - \alpha_{s,r})(R_{r}^{f} - R_{r}^{b}) $$

where the forward and backward reaction rates are computed using an Arrhenius formulation.

A two-temperature thermodynamic model is employed to model nonequilibrium between the translational-rotational and vibrational-electronic energy modes. As such, a separate energy equation is used to model vibrational-electronic energy transport. A source term associated with the relaxation of vibrational-electronic energy modes is modeled using a Landau-Teller formulation $$ \dot{\theta}_{tr:ve} = \sum _s \rho_s \frac{dE_{ve,s}}{dt} = \sum _s \rho_s \frac{E_{ve*,s} - E_{ve,s}}{\tau_s}. $$

Transport properties for the multi-component mixture are evaluated using a Wilkes-Blottner-Eucken formulation.

| `NEMO_EULER` | 7.0.0 |


To simulate inviscid hypersonic flows in thermochemical nonequilibrium, SU2-NEMO solves the Euler equations for reacting flows which can be obtained as a simplification of the thermochemical nonequilibrium Navier-Stokes equations in the absence of viscous effects. They can be expressed in differential form as

$$ \mathcal{R}(U) = \frac{\partial U}{\partial t} + \nabla \cdot \bar{F}^{c}(U) - S = 0 $$

where the conservative variables are the working variables and given by

$$U = \left \{ \rho_{1}, \dots, \rho_{n_s}, \rho \bar{v}, \rho E, \rho E_{ve} \right \}^\mathsf{T}$$

$$S$$ is a source term composed of

$$S = \left \{ \dot{w}_{1}, \dots, \dot{w}_{n_s}, \mathbf{0}, 0, \dot{\theta}_{tr:ve} + \sum_s \dot{w}_s E_{ve,s} \right \}^\mathsf{T}$$

and the convective and viscous fluxes are

$$\bar{F}^{c} = \left \{ \begin{array}{c} \rho_{1} \bar{v} \\ \vdots \\ \rho_{n_s} \bar{v} \\ \rho \bar{v} \otimes \bar{v} + \bar{\bar{I}} p \\ \rho E \bar{v} + p \bar{v} \\ \rho E_{ve} \bar{v} \end{array} \right \}$$
