Review text

The equations defined in a physical plane are changed into those in a computational plane with coordinate transformations suitable for different Mach numbers. The computational area is bounded by the body surface, the detached shock wave, and the sonic line. Highly accurate, total variation diminishing finite-difference schemes are used to calculate the low supersonic flowfield around a sphere. The stand-off distance, location of sonic line, etc. are well comparable with experimental data.
