The numerical solution of viscous flows at high Reynolds number

A review is presented of implicit and hybrid methods applicable to solving viscous flows at high Reynolds numbers. Flows within axisymmetric channels containing stationary shock waves, past blunt-nosed lifting airfoils, past sharp-nosed symmetric airfoils with buffet, past three-dimensional compression ramps with side walls, and past ogive- and hemisphere-cylinders at angle of attack have been examined. Reynolds numbers as high as 10 to the 9th power have been used.
