Development of the PHARAON platform and ONERA numerical solvers for gas radiation
Abstract
The paper presents the PHARAON platform and the ONERA solvers developed to study gas radiation of high temperature gases during atmospheric re-entries. The platform aims at facilitating dataset interchange between the different solvers involved in a radiation calculation, using a clearly defined data structure and a general interpolation tool. The corresponding solvers are, at the present time, Navier-Stokes solvers and a radiative heat transfer solver using a Statistical Narrow-Band model for the CO and CO2 molecules. Aerothermodynamic computations on the testcase TC3-1 are presented as well as a first application of the interpolation tool.
