An efficient numerical method for solving the time-dependent compressible Navier-Stokes equations at high Reynolds numberA fine-mesh method incorporating two new operators, which drastically reduces the computation time, has been developed for solving the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations at flight Reynolds numbers. The approach time-splits the equations into a hyperbolic part and a parabolic part, solves the hyperbolic part by a new explicit numerical method based on characteristics theory, and solves the parabolic part by a new efficient implicit parabolic method. The method has reduced the computation time by one and two orders of magnitude from that required previously to solve for the interaction of a shock wave with a boundary layer on a flat plate.
