Abstract

A finite-volume method on unstructured grids for solving systems of conservation laws of compressible fluids is extended to chemically reacting non-equilibrium flow problems at very low Mach numbers. Convergence and accuracy is ensured by local preconditioning, generalised to reactive multi-species flows and incorporated in a flux difference formulation. It is combined with an implicit solution of the species source terms to overcome stiffness problems. To ensure time consistency for transient problems, a semi-implicit dual time-stepping method is applied. The performance of the algorithm is shown on a sample result for steady-state and time-accurate problems.
