AN EFFICIENT ALGORITHM FOR HYPERSONIC VISCOUS FLOWS

The CSCM-S algorithm proposed by Lombard et al is very attractivefor multidimensional Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. However, it is not economical due to the use of global sweeps in the whole computational domain. In this paper we suggest a modified strategy, which combines a single-marching technique for supersonic dominated region with a multi-sweep procedure for pure subsonic and complex flowfield. The new algorithm may save significantly CPU time and is more suitable for engineering applications.
