Numerical simulation of high speed flow based on high-order gas-kinetic scheme
High-resolution methods have the potential to meet the high-resolution requirements of new high-speed vehicle designs in terms of predicted aerodynamic as well as aerodynamic-thermal forces,as compared to the more dissipative traditional second-order finite-volume methods.This pa-per develops a high-order gas-kinetic scheme for high speed flow based on gas kinetic distribution functions,combined with adaptive high-order reconstruction,slope compression factor,and p-multi-grid techniques.The expected accuracy can be achieved through the accuracy test.Through the as-sessment of typical one-dimensional and three-dimensional high speed flow cases,the robustness and high-resolution characteristics of the method in high speed flow are verified,demonstrating the po-tential of this method for accuracy prediction of aerodynamic and thermal effects in complex high speed geometries.
