Analysis of Oscillatory Behaviors in Shock Waves and Development of M-AUSMPW+

The M-AUSMPW+ scheme that can capture shock waves exactly with monotonic characteristic is developed by analyzing the cause of oscillation in shock regions. Firstly shock-capturing characteristics of general FVS including the AUSM-type schemes are investigated in detail, according to the different between a cell-interface and a sonic transition position. The cause of oscillation is the improper numerical dissipation that could not represent the real physics. The M-AUSMPW+ could capture shocks exactly without oscillatory behaviors in considering the sonic transition position and an cell-interface position

A Study of Monotonic Characteristics of AUSM - type Schemes in Shock Regions

The monotonic characteristics of AUSM-type shemes are proven by mathmatics and numerics. Qualitatively well-known characteristics are quantified by mathematics and the magnitude of oscillatory behaviors of each schemes could be compared directly. Moreover, it is also studied how the sonic transition position affects the oscillation in capturing the shocks. Lastly M-AUSMPW+, the latest improved AUSM-type scheme, is shown to have monotonic characeristics though all shock conditions.

Papers : Analysis of Numerical Instability of AUSM - type Schemes

Numerical stability is studied based on numerics and mathematics. It is frequently observed in the region where velocity is zero. In that region, the Euler equation have numerous solutions and, thus, it is impossible to determine a unique solution with only governing equations. However, a unique solution can be determined by additional outer flow conditions or outer numerical discontinuity calculation since the information or a unique solution under undisturbed conditions is lost by disturbances. In this reason, the numerical scheme comsistent with Euler equations cannot remove shock instability completely.
