Conservative supra-characteristics method for splitting the hyperbolic systems of gasdynamics with computed boundaries for real and perfect gases

Implicit methods developed by Beam and Warming (1978 and Briley and McDonald (1977) make it possible to overcome the hyperbolic stiffness of the conservative compressible Navier-Stokes equations in the fine wall region computational mesh for high Reynold's number flow. Certain difficulties related to the use of these methods could be overcome by employing an approach reported by Roe (1981). In the present investigation Roe's conceptual framework has been adopted for constructing globally conservative finite difference methods. A globally conservative upwind finite difference method (CSCM) consisting of both implicit interior point and boundary point equations is constructed from a new characteristics based flux difference splitting. It is found that the employed upwind eigenvector split scheme which combines fully coupled implicit interior point and boundary point approximations has the desired properties of robust stability and accuracy.
