Evaluation of TVD high-resolution schemes for unsteady viscous shocked flows (Q5926071)

The authors evaluate the capability of some high-resolution TVD schemes to solve complex unsteady viscous shocked flows. They consider two types of discretization, namely a combined time and space (CTS) discretization, and an independent time and space (ITS) discretization. Both methods are associated with several limiters. In the case of CTS, a new family of limiters is obtained. A series of numerical tests is performed at \(\text{Re}=200\). The authors show that the CTS method converges much more faster than the ITS method. The new family of limiters is shown to be more accurate than the classical limiters.
