Abstract

The finite volume method (FVM) is the most widely used numerical method by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) researchers to solve the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. A successful FVM solver should be accurate, efficient and robust. High-order spatial discretization must be used for accuracy. Implicit time integration is usually adopted to obtain better efficiency, especially for high Reynolds number flows. For large-scale applications, the solver should be parallelized and even vectorized to be able to run on parallel and vector computer platforms.
