Conclusions

• New five-equation model (improvement to Kapila’s model); with energy-exchange laws

• Approximate Riemann solver used for both flux and energy-exchange evaluation • Mixture flows can also be computed

• Physically correct solutions without tuning or post-processing

• J.J. Kreeft and BK, J. Comput. Phys., 229, 6220-6242

• Room for further extensions and applications
