Turbulent flow associated with a fluid is characterised by choatic flow of fluids. The energy and momentum interactions between fluid parcels during this flow, can also lead to production of charged species in the channel, under certain conditions. Is there any model or numerical model to study such changes?
Could you detail your statement "can also lead to production of charged species in the channel, under certain conditions"?
Filippo Maria Denaro The species flowing in a channel can undergo energy and momentum interactions which might lead to the ionization of species above the threshold energy levels. My question is: Is it possible to study and model these interactions?
If I understand correctly your flow problem, you are considering a high energized fluid like plasma in a channel as reported here https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=flow+plasma+in+a+channel
This flow problem appears typically in hypersonic flows and you can find the physical and mathematical problems of ionization, non-equilibrium and so on.
Several studies exist but be aware that this problem is still not fully modelled and is at the frontier of the reasearch, see
Article Rate Effects in Hypersonic Flows
If the hypersonic vehicles reach speeds greater than Mach 5. At these hypersonic speeds, the air particles and gases that flow around the vehicle and interact with the surfaces generate heat and create shock waves that disturb the flow's equilibrium. New research at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign created a model to simulate and better understand flow transitions.
I would suggest to read the following file: "Simulating hypersonic flow transitions from smooth to turbulent." ScienceDaily. 6 November 2018.
Ahmed Abdelhameed Is it possible that such conditions might happen in low mach number flows.
