A three-dimensional explicit time marching algorithm has been developed for the numerical solution of inviscid internal flows. The formulation uses the natural streamline co-ordinate system. The unsteady Euler equations in non-conservative form are expressed in terms of the extended Riemann variables and the flow angles. Along the characteristic trajectories in the space-time domain, these equations reduce to a system of ordinary differential equations. Boundary conditions are also implemented in characteristic form. Shock waves are calculated after performing a one-point shock correction that maintains conservation across the discontinuity.

The DRBEM solution of incompressible MHD flow equations
Bozkaya, Nuray; Tezer, Münevver (Wiley, 2011-12-10)
This paper presents a dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) formulation coupled with an implicit backward difference time integration scheme for the solution of the incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow equations. The governing equations are the coupled system of Navier-Stokes equations and Maxwell's equations of electromagnetics through Ohm's law. We are concerned with a stream function-vorticity-magnetic induction-current density formulation of the full MHD equations in 2D. The stream f...
Effects of the Jacobian evaluation on Newton's solution of the Euler equations
Onur, O; Eyi, Sinan (Wiley, 2005-09-20)
Newton's method is developed for solving the 2-D Euler equations. The Euler equations are discretized using a finite-volume method with upwind flux splitting schemes. Both analytical and numerical methods are used for Jacobian calculations. Although the numerical method has the advantage of keeping the Jacobian consistent with the numerical residual vector and avoiding extremely complex analytical differentiations, it may have accuracy problems and need longer execution time. In order to improve the accurac...
Solution to transient Navier-Stokes equations by the coupling of differential quadrature time integration scheme with dual reciprocity boundary element method
Bozkaya, Canan; Tezer, Münevver (Wiley, 2009-01-20)
The two-dimensional time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations in terms of the vorticity and the stream function are solved numerically by using the coupling of the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) in space with the differential quadrature method (DQM) in time. In DRBEM application, the convective and the time derivative terms in the vorticity transport equation are considered as the nonhomogeneity in the equation and are approximated by radial basis functions. The solution to the Poisson equati...
Improvements to compressible Euler methods for low-Mach number flows
Sabanca, M; Brenner, G; Alemdaroglu, N (Wiley, 2000-09-30)
In the present study improvements to numerical algorithms for the solution of the compressible Euler equations at low Mach numbers are investigated. To solve flow problems for a wide range of Mach numbers, from the incompressible limit to supersonic speeds, preconditioning techniques are frequently employed. On the other hand, one can achieve the same aim by using a suitably modified acoustic damping method. The solution algorithm presently under consideration is based on Roe's approximate Riemann solver [R...
