Application of artificial viscosity for suppressing the carbuncle phenomenon in Godunov-type schemes

Аннотация

A new approach for solving the carbuncle phenomenon that occurs in Godunov-type schemes when applied to hypersonic flow simulations is proposed. The approach suppresses carbuncle-instability by additional dissipative terms in the form of the right-hand side of Navier-Stokes equations, but with artificial instead of molecular viscosity. The efficiency of the proposed approach is demonstrated on several test problems.
