Kinetic flux vector splitting scheme for solving non-reactive multi-component flows.

Kinetic flux vector splitting scheme for solving non-reactive multi-component flows. Comput Biol Chem. 2019 Sep 18;83:107107 Authors: Saqib M, Rabbani A, Nisar UA, Ashraf W, Qamar S Abstract This paper is about multi-component flow. There is no doubt that multi-component flow has a wide range of applications, specially in aerospace it plays a vital role during reentry of space ship into earth's atmosphere thats why it cannot be neglected for a proper vehicle design. In this paper one- and two-dimensional homogenous multi-component flow models are numerically investigated by using a high resolution splitting scheme and this scheme is known as Kinetic Flux Vector Splitting scheme. This scheme preserves positivity conditions and resolves shocks, rarefaction and contact discontinuity. The scheme is based on splitting of flux functions. Moreover Runge-Kutta time stepping technique with MUSCL-type initial reconstruction is used to guarantee higher order accurate solution. This work is first done by Qamar and Warnecke (2004) for the homogeneous multi-component flow equations using central scheme, here we investigate the same work using kinetic flux vector splitting scheme (KFVS) and compared the results with central scheme to verify the efficiency of studied scheme.
