SOLA-ICE: A numerical solution algorithm for transient compressible fluid flows
Abstract
A finite difference technique is presented for solving the equations of motion for an arbitrarily compressible fluid. The technique, which includes the implicit continuous-fluid Eulerian (ICE) method as an optional feature, is simplified to facilitate its use by persons with little or no experience in numerical fluid dynamics. The basic algorithm, some accuracy and stability considerations, a flow chart, a FORTRAN listing, and three test problems are described.
