Abstract:A shock estimation approach is proposed in the context of the generation of shock-conforming meshes for the numerical analysis of inviscid, steady, supersonic and hypersonic flows. For given flow conditions and vehicle's geometry, the method provides a fast estimation of the shock waves pattern such that grid points can be clustered along the shock waves in a judicious manner. In this way, the uncertainty on mesh generation for shock-dominated flows is reduced and the use of adaptive mesh refinement could be m… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
