AIAA 1981–1259 Numerical Solution of the Euler Equations by Finite Volume Methods Using Runge-Kutta Time-Stepping Schemes
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new combination of a finite volume discretization in conjunction with carefully designed dissipative terms of third order, and a Runge Kutta time stepping scheme, is shown to yield an effective method for solving the Euler equations in arbitrary geometric domains. The method has been used to determine the steady transonic flow past an airfoil using an O mesh. Convergence to a steady state is accelerated by the use of a variable time step determined by the local Courant member, and the introduction of a forcing term proportional to the difference between the local total enthalpy and its free stream value.

Numerical Solutions of Euler Equations by Runge-kutta Discontinuous Galerkin Method
Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) method is a high order finite element method for solving hyperbolic conservation laws employing useful features from high resolution finite volume schemes, such as the exact or approximate Riemann solvers serving as numerical fluxes, TVD Runge-Kutta time discretizations and limiters. In most of the RKDG papers in the literature, the LaxFriedrichs numeri...
متن کاملA New Multigrid Euler Method for Fighter-type Configurations
Transonic and supersonic flows over isolated wings and fighter-type aircraft configurations are computed through the numerical solution of the compressible Euler equations. Appropriate singlemesh topologies are used in combination with a new multigrid time-stepping scheme for solving the Euler equations. C-H or C-0 meshes are used for the isolated wing. A novel H-0 type mesh is introduced to di...
متن کاملNonstandard explicit third-order Runge-Kutta method with positivity property
When one solves differential equations, modeling physical phenomena, it is of great importance to take physical constraints into account. More precisely, numerical schemes have to be designed such that discrete solutions satisfy the same constraints as exact solutions. Based on general theory for positivity, with an explicit third-order Runge-Kutta method (we will refer to it as RK3 method) pos...
متن کاملMultigrid Calculations Fob. Cascades
Development of numerical methods for internal flows such as the flow in gas turbines or compressors has generally met with less success than that for external flows, due to the complexity of the flow pattern. Potential flow methods had been the major approach in cascade flow calculations until fairly recently, when solution of the Euler equations became practically feasible. The most widely use...
متن کاملEvaluation of Fully Implicit Runge Kutta Schemes for Unsteady Flow Calculations
This paper presents the formulation of a dual time stepping procedure to solve the equations of fully implicit Runge–Kutta schemes. In particular themethod is applied toGauss and Radau 2A schemes with either two or three stages. The schemes are tested for unsteady flows over a pitching airfoil modeled by both the Euler and the unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier Stokes equations. It is concluded ...
