Shock-fitting method for two-dimensional inviscid, steady supersonic flows in ducts

Abstract

A numerical technique to solve the Euler equations for two-dimensional, steady, inviscid, supersonic flows in ducts is presented. The technique is second-order accurate and is based on theλ-scheme plus shock-fitting method. Many cases have been tested. The method used and the results obtained demonstrate the versatility of the technique specially if confronted with analogous methods that use shock-capturing techniques.
