High Order Methods Applied to Reactive Reentry Flows, Vol. 1

Edisson Sávio was born in Recife, PE, Brazil, in 1969. He was graduated in Mechanical Engineering by UFPE in 1992, Master degree in Thermal Engineering by UFPE in 1995, both in Recife, Doctor degree in Aeronautical Engineering by ITA in 2002 and Post-Doctor degree in Aerospace Engineering by ITA in 2009, both in São José dos Campos, SP, Brazil.

This book was written to students and engineers that like the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) area; in other words, that like of programming algorithms to the resolution of physical problems. Some familiarity with code programming is required. However, through the computation courses teaching at the Universities the engineering student and common areas will have the capacity of programming the codes and high order methods presented in this book and much more of his/her interest. The engineers are understood with some experience in programming, therefore, the application of the algorithms is right. The applications of this book aim reentry flow problems. This book describes MUSCL, ENO and WENO procedures to obtain high order resolution considering reactive formulation. The MUSCL of Van Leer, the ENO of Harten et al. and the WENO of Shu are presented according to a finite volume formulation and structured discretization. The ENO procedure considers Newton or Hermite interpolation processes. Two and three-dimensional spaces are considered. The Van Leer and Liou and Steffen Jr. schemes are employed. Good results are obtained. Turbulence is also taken into consideration.
