Calculation of steady-state three-dimensional flows of viscous gases and chemically reacting gas mixtures

In an earlier study (Strelets and Shur, 1988), a method, referred to as the compressibility scaling method, has been developed for the numerical modeling of two-dimensional steady-state compressible flows for arbitrary freestream Mach numbers. Here, the method is extended to the case of three-dimensional steady-state flows of viscous gases and multicomponent gas mixtures in the presence of chemical reactions. The capabilities of the finite difference algorithm proposed here are illustrated by two examples.
