Unsteady two-dimensional subsonic transonic, and supersonic flow calculations by the method of characteristics

Method of curved-shock characteristics with application to inverse design of supersonic flowfields

“…In all unit processes, the Euler predictor–corrector difference scheme is employed, especially for calculating the third characteristic. Chu & Nadir (1976) applied the two-dimensional MOC to unsteady flows using a simple form of a generalized finite-difference approximation, and then calculated unsteady two-dimensional supersonic flowfields. On the basis of the supersonic flowfield given by MOC, You & Liang (2009) developed a design concept for a three-dimensional section-controllable internal waverider hypersonic inlet.…”
