Chapter 5 Conclusions
5.2 Recommendations for Future Work
Although we have made some progress in developing a coupled DSMC-NS scheme using unstructured mesh that is the first one in this community, there are several studies we would like to recommend in this thesis. Recommended tasks for the future work are briefly summarized in the following:
1. To test the new criterion of continuum breakdown parameter near the solid wall.
2. To integrate a mesh refinement technique into the proposed coupled DSMC-NS method.
3. To apply this code to flow simulation of expanding plumes from a flying projectile at high altitude, high compression ratio turbomolecular pump and jet-type chemical vapor deposition, to name a few.
4. To extend the current coupling method to unsteady flows.
5. To implement the axisymmetric analysis modeling in the current coupled method.
