Robust and accurate central algorithms for Multi-Component mixture equations with Stiffened gas EOS

Abstract

Simple and robust algorithms are developed for compressible Euler equations with stiffened gas equation of state (EOS), representing gaseous mixtures in thermal equilibrium and without chemical reactions. These algorithms use fully conservative approach in finite volume frame work for approximating the governing equations.Also these algorithms used central schemes with controlled numerical diffusion for this purpose. Both Mass fraction ( ) and based models are used with RICCA and MOVERS+ algorithms to resolve the basic features of the flow fields. These numerical schemes are tested thoroughly for pressure oscillations and preservation of the positivity of mass fraction at least in the first order numerical methods. Several test cases in both 1D and 2D are presented to demonstrate the robustness and accuracy of the numerical schemes.
