A modified Dodge algorithm for the parabolized Navier-Stokes equations and compressible duct flows

A revised version of Dodge's split-velocity method for numerical calculation of compressible duct flow has been developed. The revision incorporates balancing of massflow rates on each marching step in order to maintain front-to-back continuity during the calculation. Qualitative agreement with analytical predictions and experimental results has been obtained for some flows with well-known solutions.
