The computational technique for two-dimensional, unsteady flows developed by the firm (a combination of the lambda-scheme and shock-fitting) produces excellent results and requires substantially less computational time than shock-capturing techniques. Extending the technique to three-dimensional flows and conducting several feasibility tests, including some with complicated shock patterns in ducts, are the goals of this project.Phase I showed the feasibility of the project, using both H-grids and Cartesian grids with a special treatment for wall points. Potential Commercial Application:The method applies to the analysis of intake and nozzle designs for supersonic flows.STATUS: Phase I Only
