A Conservative Cut-Cell Immersed Boundary Method for Accurate Simulation of Hypersonic Flows with Gas-Surface Interactions

A conservative cut-cell immersed boundary (IB) method including gas-surface interactions (GSI) for the simulation of atmospheric entry flows under thermochemical nonequilibrium (TCNE) conditions is presented. The performance<br/>of the method is demonstrated for three test cases: a compression ramp, a cylinder, and a plasma wind tunnel ablator...
