WHEN we attempt to apply compressible computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods to
very low Mach number flows, as is known, we shall pay particular attention to slow, or …

Hypersonic heating computations are still challenging due to difficulties in “(A) robust
capturing of shockwaves” and “(B) accurate prediction of heating”. Based on our numerical …

In this paper, we propose new Euler flux functions for use in a finite-volume Euler/Navier–
Stokes code, which are very simple, carbuncle-free, yet have an excellent boundary-layer …

In this paper, we provide a perspective on how the field of computational
aerothermodynamics has evolved and make some educated guesses as to where it is …

The Savonius drag-type wind turbine suffers from poor efficiency due to the adverse
negative torques on the returning blades when they rotate against incoming flows. It was …

There are growing attentions to providing a simple and accurate shock detection method for
computational fluid dynamics, not only for identifying the shocks in the post-processing but …

Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) Rotated Lattice Boltzmann Flux Solver (RLBFS) is
proposed and analyzed with matrix-based linear stability theory for simulating compressible …

The reduced dissipation approach is applied to AUSM-family flux functions of SLAU2 (as
well as its predecessor, SLAU) and AUSM+-up for high resolution simulations. In this …

IN HYPERSONIC flow computations, it is a key issue to predict surface heating accurately.
However, it is still challenging to compute hypersonic flows, because there are always …

It is well known that low diffusion Riemann solvers with minimal smearing on contact and
shear waves are vulnerable to shock instability problems, including the carbuncle …
