DIGITAL SIMULATION OF TRANSONIC FLOW FIELDS IN A PLANAR NOZZLE

This paper presents a method for simulation of transonic flow fields in a planar nozzle. For this purpose, the Jumeson-type Runge-Kutta finite volume method is applied to solving Euler equation with the aid of local time stepping and impicit residuals averaging techniques. In such a manner the convergence rate is sped up in planar nozzle flow solution, so that the steady state can be obtained in less than a hundred iterations. An adaptive dissipation term is added to the equations to eliminate the fluctuation of the flow parameters and the vibrations in front of and behind the shock. The results of the calculations are in good agreement with the test data and the results of calculations with other numerical methods.
