Numerical Solution and Algorithm Analysis for the Unsteady Navier-Stokes Equations on Dynamic Multiblock Grids Including Chemical Equilibrium. Volume 2

Abstract

This is a two volume final report for the research entitled Computation of Hypersonic Interference Flowfields. Volume I involves the numerical solution of the three-dimensional unsteady Euler and Navier-Stokes equations for a calorically perfect gas. This volume involves the development of techniques for the solution of three-dimensional inviscid and viscous hypersonic flows in chemical equilibrium. This research addresses the numerical formation and solution of the equations as well as an analysis of the optimization of the numerical solution algorithm used to solve the equations. Selected results of numerous hypersonic flow computations--including computations of heat transfer to bodies with different nose shapes--are presented.
