RICE: a computer program for multicomponent chemically reactive flows at all speeds
N.Mex. (USA) Los Alamos Scientific Lab., W Rivard, O.A. Farmer, T Butler · 1974
The fluid dynamics of chemically reactive mixtures are ialculated at arbitrary flow speeds with the RICE program.The dynamics are governed by the two-dimensional, time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations together with the species transport equations and the mass-action rate equations for the chemical reactions.The mass and momentum equations for the mixture are solved implicitly by the ICE technique.The equations for total energy and species transport are solved explicitly while the chemical rate equations are solved implicitly with a time step that may be a submultipl'j of the hydrodyr.amictime step.Application is made to continuous wave HF chemical lasers to compute the supersonic mixing and chemical reactions that take place in the lasing cavity.G.
