Calculation of three dimensional supersonic flow with a finite difference method
Abstract
The finite difference method was used to calculate three-dimensional supersonic shock waves. The method is based on the work of P. Kutler, and the discrete functions of Mac Cormack of the predictor-corrector type are applied on conservative flow equations. Results show the flexibility of this method. The gliding condition at the wall and inversion of Rankine-Hugoniot equations are dealt with in annexes.
