An implicit finite volume method for elliptical flow computation
Abstract
A time integration scheme is given for the conservation equations for aerothermodynamic problems. The space discretization employed uses the finite volume method, which retains the conservative character of the basic equations. The time integration procedure is based on a linearized, implicit second-order method, which anticipates the variation of aerodynamical quantities by implicitly coupling mass and momentum equations through a linearized pressure equation. In such a way, the numerical scheme escapes the CFL stability requirements, and thus allows fast calculation of low frequencies and fast convergence towards a stationary solution. Examples of calculation results are presented to illustrate applications in turbomachinery studies.
