Application of an upwind algorithm to the three-dimensional parabolized Navier-Stokes equations

A new computer code for the solution of the three-dimensional parabolized Navier-Stokes equations has been developed. The code employs a state-of-the-art upwind algorithm to capture strong shock waves. The algorithm is implicit, uses finite volumes, and is second-order accurate in the crossflow directions. The new code is validated through application to laminar hypersonic flows past two simple body shapes: a circular cone of 10 deg half-angle, and a generic all-body hypersonic vehicle. Cone flow solutions were computed at angles of attack of 12, 20, and 24 deg and results are in agreement with experimental data. Results are also presented for the flow past the all-body vehicle at angles of incidence of 0 and 10 deg.
