“…Pressure correction schemes are less popular in the context of compressible flows, even though their application to compressible Navier-Stokes equations may also be traced back to the late sixties, with the seminal work of Harlow and Amsden [25,26], who developed an iterative algorithm (the so-called ICE method) including an elliptic corrector step for the pressure. Later on, pressure correction equations appeared in numerical schemes proposed by several researchers, essentially in the finite-volume framework, using either a collocated [11,35,38,45,50,52] or a staggered arrangement [3,5,8,33,34,36,56,57,[59][60][61] of unknowns; in the first case, some corrective actions are to be foreseen to avoid the usual odd-even decoupling of the pressure in the low Mach number regime. Some of these algorithms are essentially implicit, the end-of-step solution being then obtained by SIMPLE-like iterative processes [11,35,36,38,45,52,58].…”
