Adaptation of Flux-Corrected Transport Algorithms for Modelling Blast Waves

Abstract

Flux-corrected transport represents an accurate and flexible class of methods for solving nonsteady compressible flow problems. In models which treat all the physical effects required for blast wave simulation, truncation errors inherent in the underlying finite difference scheme are exacerbated by nonlinear coupling between the fluid equations and by the greater complexity of the phenomena being simulated. In order to improve the properties of the basic difference scheme, we propose a new algorithm for integrating generalized continuity equations over a timestep delta t.
