چکیده
The paper describes a multiple grid method for transonic flow calculations. The proposed scheme incorporates a generalized alternating direction method as the smoothing algorithm. Numerical experiments with this multigrid alternating direction (MAD) method indicate that it is both fast and reliable.

Adaptation of Structured Grid for Supersonic and Transonic Flows
Two distinct redistribution grids - adaptation techniques, spring analogy and elliptic grid generator are applied to two-dimensional steady, inviscid, shocked flows, and the ability of each technique is examined and compared. Euler equations are solved base on Roe's Reimann solver approach to simulate supersonic flow around a sphere, transonic flow about an airfoil and supersonic flow in a symm...

Princeton University, Princeton, NJ This paper desribes a technique for finding the numerical solution of the Full Potential equation for steady transonic flow about airfoils. The exterior but finite domain is discretized by breaking it up into triangles. Difference equations are formulated using variational principle and a formula for the derivative in an arbitrary polygon. The iterative schem...

The theory of non-oscillatory scalar schemes is developed in this paper in terms of the local extremum diminishing (LED) principle that maxima should not increase and minima should not decrease. This principle can be used for multi-dimensional problems on both structured and unstructured meshes, while it is equivalent to the total variation diminishing (TVD) principle for one-dimensional proble...
