Relative efficiency and accuracy of two Navier-Stokes codes for simulating attached transonic flow over wings
Two codes which solve the 3-D Thin Layer Navier-Stokes (TLNS) equations are used to compute the steady state flow for two test cases representing typical finite wings at transonic conditions. Several grids of C-O topology and varying point densities are used to determine the effects of grid refinement. After a description of each code and test case, standards for determining code efficiency and accuracy are defined and applied to determine the relative performance of the two codes in predicting turbulent transonic wing flows. Comparisons of computed surface pressure distributions with experimental data are made.

Application of two-point implicit central-difference methods to hyperbolic systems
This paper presents a general solution algorithm for the set of difference equations that arise when two-point central differences are used to approximate the flux difference terms in systems of hyperbolic differential equations. The general algorithm eliminates the weak points associated with the nonstandard algorithm reported by Wornom and Hafez (1986). The disadvantages of their algorithm relate to its implementation. It consists of separate algorithms for subsonic, supersonic, sonic and shock cells, applied individually, which presents a major bookkeeping problem when multiple sonic and shock cells are present. The general algorithm eliminates this problem and introduces an improved shock treatment which produces shocks with at most one interior shock point.
