A time accurate finite volume method for propulsion chamber flows
An implicit three-dimensional time-accurate method for propulsion chamber flows is proposed which uses line Gauss-Seidel relaxation and multiple axial sweeps for the convergence of each time step. The general time-integration algorithm employed includes such schemes as the Euler implicit method. The results of spatial and temporal accuracy tests reveal that Roe's (1981) flux difference splitting provides excellent tracking of acoustic wave speeds. In comparison with other methods, no low mean flow Mach number convergence limitation or Courant number stabilization restriction is observed.
