Summary

The computation of inviscid and viscous one- and two-dimensional supersonic and hypersonic flows using explicit Runge-Kutta time-stepping schemes is investigated. The spatial discretization is based on a cell-vertex finite-volume scheme with central differencing and various time-stepping schemes. Two artificial dissipation models are discussed with respect to accuracy and convergence behaviour. These are the well-known dissipation model based on fourth and second differences of the flow variables and a flux-limited dissipation model with TVD properties. Furthermore, the application of a multigrid scheme for supersonic flows is discussed. It is shown that substantial CPU-time savings are obtained using multigrid for the computation of viscous high-speed flows.
