Abstract
A fast, semidirect, iterative computational method, previously introduced for finite-difference solution of subsonic and slightly supercritical flow over airfoils, is extended both to apply to strongly supercritical conditions and to include full second-order accuracy in computing inviscid flows over airfoils. The nonlinear small-disturbance equations are solved iteratively by a direct, linear, elliptic solver. General, fully conservative, type-dependent difference equations are formulated, including parabolic- and shock-point transition operators that provide consistency with the integral conservation laws. These equations specialize to either first-order or to fully second-order-accurate equations. Various free parameters are evaluated for rapid convergence of the first-order scheme. Resulting pressure distributions and computing times are compared with the improved Murman-Cole line-relaxation method.
