Abstract
A highly efficient numerical algorithm for solving 3-D hypersonic flows with applied electromagnetic fields is being developed. Maxwell's equations of electromagnetodynamics have been added to the PNS equations and the resulting set of equations are solved using a loosely-coupled approach. The fluids and magnetic field equations are decoupled in such a way that the physics of the problem is retained. To account for upstream (elliptic) effects, the flowfields are computed using multiple sweeps with the iterated PNS (IPNS) algorithm. The fluid flow and magnetic field solvers can either be updated independently or coupled iteratively which makes for an efficient approach in dealing with the effects of the magnetic field on the fluid flow. The new algorithm has been used to determine the influence of magnetic fields on two-dimensional hypersonic flows over flat plates and wedges. The present results are in good agreement with previous Navier-Stokes calculations.
