Numerical Computation of Transonic Flows with Shock Waves

  • Conference paper

Summary

Some recent developments in numerical methods for calculating solutions to the transonic potential flow equation are reviewed, including (1) the construction of stable coordinate independent difference schemes; (2) the use of conservation form to insure proper shock jump conditions; (3) analysis of the relaxation method by the time dependent analogy; (4) accelerated iterative schemes.
