Abstract
Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for modeling propulsion-related interfaces in computational fluid dynamics ('CFD'). According to some embodiments disclosed herein, a model is obtained or developed and propulsion-related interfaces within the model are identified. Flow directions of velocities, temperature, and/or mass are calculated adjacent to the propulsion-related interface and compared. A mass flow rate, a conserved variable state jump, a change in flux across the interface, and/or incoming and outgoing flux values can be calculated for the propulsion-related interface. The calculated values can be returned and embedded in the model. The model is solved and a solution is output.
