Solution of Supersonic Internal Flow Problems Using MFDV

— The FDV method was originally developed by T.J. Chung [3]-[6]. The authors developed and presented a modification to this method named MFDV method in [2]. The aim of this modification was to give the implicitness parameters a deeper physical meaning while maintaining the solution stability and robustness. In the present work the modified flowfield dependent variation method (MFDV) has been tested and verified for the solution of supersonic internal flow problems. Starting from compressible Euler flow equations and applying the MFDV method with finite element discretization, many successful supersonic internal flow problems have been reported. Special attention has been given to complex shockwave patterns. Finite element implementation has been carried out via standard Galerkin method. Good agreement has been obtained in all cases with available analytical solutions, if any, and published literatures.
