A parabolized Navier-Stokes algorithm for separated supersonic internal flows

Abstract

A stable global-iteration procedure is applied to a fully implicit noniterative parabolized Navier-Stokes algorithm to improve the solutions of the single-sweep method as well as to resolve small separation bubbles due to shock-wave/boundary-layer interactions. A modified form of the FLARE approximation is employed in the separated regions and some requirements for stable iterations are discussed. The results of the global-iteration scheme for two test cases of supersonic internal flows are compared against the results of the single-sweep method as well as the results of the full Navier-Stokes solver.
