Transonic flow calculations using a dimensional splitting method

Abstract

The time-dependent Transonic Small Disturbance equation, will be reformulated in Hyperbolic Conservation Law form. In Hyperbolic Conservation Law form, with dimensional splitting the equations can be discretized and treated as a series of Riemann problems. Steady subsonic and transonic flow calculations will be presented for a suitable test configuration and where possible comparisons will be made with analytic solutions.
