Description:
Some numerical aspects of flux-vector splitting (FVS) and flux-difference splitting (FDS) schemes are investigated to determine the accuracy for the shock and expansion waves in hypersonic blunt body flow fields. The analysis includes the implementation of Steger-Warming's three-component FVS (Reklis and Thomas, 1981), van Leer's (1986) FVS, and Yang's (1985) FDS to the right-hand side of a time marching scheme where the left-hand side is a variant of the incremental line Gauss-Seidel scheme. Numerous computations are performed by blending two simple flux limiters to test the various schemes on a generic aerobrake at M(infinity) = 10 and zero angle of attack. It is found that the flux limiter plays a very important role in the accuracy of shock capturing. The steady state results are compared to those of a shock-fitting scheme and advantages and disadvantages of each scheme are discussed briefly.
