Computation of steady supersonic flows by a flux-difference/splitting method (Q1069378)

A flux-difference splitting method has been conceived for the numerical solution of hyperbolic problems and successfully implemented for unsteady flows. It aims to describe the propagation of waves and to respect the domains of dependence. Shock waves are captured numerically very neatly. Here an extension is proposed for the prediction of two-dimensional or axisymmetric steady supersonic flows. Numerical examples are shown to validate the capabilities of the method.
