A new Lagrangian method for three-dimensional steady supersonic flows (Q1335639)

The new Lagrangian method earlier introduced by the first author and \textit{W. H. Hui} [J. Comput. Phys. 89, No. 1, 207-240 (1990; Zbl 0698.76067)] is extended for 3D steady supersonic flow computation. We present the derivation of the conservation form and the solution of the local Riemann solver using the Godunov and the high resolution TVD schemes. The new approach is accurate and robust, capable of handling complicated geometry and interactions between discontinuous waves. We also suggest a novel 3D Riemann problem in which interesting and intricate flow features are present.
