High temperature effects on DNS of shock/turbulence interaction

High temperature effects on canonical shock/turbulence interaction is studied using DNS. Different physical models for air are suggested. The high temperature models for air assume local thermodynamic equilibrium conditions to apply. Effects of thermodynamic and transport properties for air are studied separately. An iterative method for initialising the stationary shock is used for the high temperature simulations. Turbulent statistics and turbulent kinetic energy budgets are studied for different physical models.
