An improved version of the Active Flux (PAMPA version) for non linear hyperbolic problems.

We consider a non linear hyperbolic systems, typically the Euler equations for fluid mechanics and propose an algorithm where  the solution is sought as globally continuous. We name this method PAMPA (for Point-Average-Moment PolynomiAl-interpreted)for  The scheme is locally conservative, and there is no mass matrix to invert. This method had been developed in a series of papers, see e.g [2] and the references therein. In [1], we had shown the connection between PAMPA and the discontinuous Galerkin method, for  linear hyperbolic problem. Taking advantage of this reinterpretation, we use it to define a family of methods, show how to implement the boundary conditions in a rigorous manner. In addition, we propose a method that complements the bound preserving method developed in [1] in the sense that it is non oscillatory. A truncation error analysis is provided, it shows that the scheme should be third order accurate for smooth solutions. This is confirmed by numerical experiments. Several numerical examples are presented to show that the scheme is indeed  bound preserving and non oscillatory on a wide range on numerical benchmarks.

Conservative numerical modeling of an ablative charring heat shield under deformations

 Work with 

Alexis Cas, Céline Baranger, Simon Peluchon

During atmospheric hypersonic re-entry, the heat shield endures extreme conditions, due to very high heat flux,
and will be largely damaged. By sacrificing itself, the thermal protection system lowers the temperature through
in-depth degradation, due to pyrolysis chemical decomposition and through surface degradation, due to ablation.
Furthermore, the thermal protection system undergoes material deformation throughout its heating. In order to control
pyrolysis, deformation and ablation phenomena, a proper understanding and modeling is required. The aim of this
work is to combine the modeling of these three phenomena, using macroscopic models, in order to understand their
interactions and accurately determine the thermal and mechanical response of the material. Therefore, a model of
ablative-pyrolysis-thermal coupling of heat shield under deformations has been developed. Considering thermal
deformations, a new pyrolysis model has been established, while an empirical deformation law has been used. Special
importance was given to preserving the mass and energy conservation.
