  Application of simulation tools to:- rarefied gas (from transition to free-molecular flow, including reactions and ionization modelling with QK, TCE)- thermal non-equilibrium - plasma (work in progess)tools: PICLas (PIC and DSMC from reentry to EP), SPARTA (satellite drag, reentry), ParaView (post procesisng), OpenFoam (from hy2foam to dsmcFoam)

• • Jan 2022 - Jun 2022

  For a six-months period, helping in hypersonic reacting flow simulations of capsule re-entry.(hypersonic fluid dynamics, thermal nonequilibrium and multi-temperature models, chemical reactions modelling)
