Compressible flow varies from ideal-gas behaviour at high pressures where molecular interactions become important. It is widely accepted that density is well described through a cubic equation of state while enthalpy and sound speed are functions of both temperature and pressure, based on two parameters, $A$ and $B$, related to intermolecular attraction and repulsion, respectively. Assuming small variations from ideal-gas behaviour, a closed-form approximate solution is obtained that is valid over a wide range of conditions. An expansion in these molecular interaction parameters simplifies relations for flow variables, elucidating the role of molecular repulsion and attraction in variations from ideal-gas behaviour. Real-gas modifications in density, enthalpy and sound speed for a given pressure and temperature lead to variations in many basic compressible-flow configurations. Sometimes, the variations can be substantial in quantitative or qualitative terms. The new approach is applied to choked-nozzle flow, isentropic flow, nonlinear wave propagation and flow across a shock wave, all for a real gas. Modifications are obtained for allowable mass flow through a choked nozzle, nozzle thrust, sonic wave speed, Riemann invariants, Prandtl’s shock relation and the Rankine–Hugoniot relations. Forced acoustic oscillations can show substantial augmentation of pressure amplitudes when real-gas effects are taken into account. Shocks at higher temperatures and pressures can have larger pressure jumps with real-gas effects. Weak shocks decay to zero strength at sonic speed. The proposed framework can rely on any cubic equation of state and can be applied to multicomponent flows or to more complex flow configurations.

Numerical simulation of compressible nozzle flows of real gas with or without the addition of heat is presented. A generalized real gas method, using an upwind scheme and curvilinear coordinates, is applied to solve the unsteady compressible Euler equations in axisymmetric form. The present method is an extension of a previous 2D method, which was developed to solve the problem for a gas having the general equation of state in the form p = p(ρ, i). In the present work the method is generalized for an arbitrary P-V-T equation of state introducing an iterative procedure for the determination of the temperature from the specific internal energy and the flow variables. The solution procedure is applied for the study of real gas effects in an axisymmetric nozzle flow.

Real gas effects on combustion and emissions in internal combustion engines are investigated using three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics. The Peng–Robinson equation of state is implemented to describe pressure–volume–temperature relationships and to calculate thermodynamic properties and relevant partial derivatives. Four facilities are modeled, including non-reacting compression in a motoring engine, combustion in a conventional diesel combustion engine and in a reactivity controlled compression ignition engine, as well as for a non-reacting reflected wave in a shock tube. It is found that the real gas effects of gas mixtures in practical internal combustion engine operation are sensitive to the operating load and the amount of premixed fuel. Excellent agreement against experiments was found for engine simulations with the Peng–Robinson equation of state in terms of cylinder pressure and apparent heat release rate. However, discrepancies with predictions from the ideal gas law grow with increased load and larger amounts of premixed fuel. In particular, the predicted emissions of soot, NOx, CO and unburnt hydrocarbons show increasing sensitivity to real gas effects as a result of changes in combustion phasing. Fuel condensation is also modeled using a vapor–liquid phase equilibrium solver and significant dependency on the equation of state used is found. Therefore, it is recommended to include real gas effects in internal combustion engine modeling to capture combustion and emissions characteristics accurately. Additionally, the results emphasize the role of real gas effects on reaction rates. Shock tube simulations are used to demonstrate the importance of using the real gas equation of state in the interpretation of chemical kinetic measurements. Significantly different compressed gas temperatures behind the reflected shock are predicted when real gas effects are considered. This needs to be realized when developing chemical kinetic models and rate constants for engine applications from shock tube data.

Abstract Algorithms are presented for density, potential temperature, conservative temperature, and the freezing temperature of seawater. The algorithms for potential temperature and density (in terms of potential temperature) are updates to routines recently published by McDougall et al., while the algorithms involving conservative temperature and the freezing temperatures of seawater are new. The McDougall et al. algorithms were based on the thermodynamic potential of Feistel and Hagen; the algorithms in this study are all based on the “new extended Gibbs thermodynamic potential of seawater” of Feistel. The algorithm for the computation of density in terms of salinity, pressure, and conservative temperature produces errors in density and in the corresponding thermal expansion coefficient of the same order as errors for the density equation using potential temperature, both being twice as accurate as the International Equation of State when compared with Feistel’s new equation of state. An inverse function relating potential temperature to conservative temperature is also provided. The difference between practical salinity and absolute salinity is discussed, and it is shown that the present practice of essentially ignoring the difference between these two different salinities is unlikely to cause significant errors in ocean models.
