Pseudo-time algorithms for the Navier-Stokes equations

A pseudo-time method is introduced to integrate the compressible Navier- Stokes equations to a steady state. This method is a generalization of a method used by Crocco and also by Allen and Cheng [e.g.: \textit{J. S. Allen} and \textit{S. I. Cheng}, Phys. Fluids 13, 37-52 (1970; Zbl 0211.294)]. We show that for a simple heat equation this is just a renormalization of the time. For a convection-diffusion equation the renormalization is dependent only on the viscous terms. We implement the method for the Navier-Stokes equations using a Runge-Kutta type algorithm. This enables the time-step to be chosen based on the inviscid model only. We also discuss the use of residual smoothing when viscous terms are present.
