Computation of steady and unsteady vortex-dominated flows with shock waves

The unsteady Euler equations have been derived in the conservation form for the flow relative motion with respect to a rotating frame of reference. The resulting equations are solved by using a central-difference finite-volume scheme with four-state Runge-Kutta time stepping. For steady flow applications local time stepping is used, and for unsteady applications the minimum global time stepping is used. A three-dimensional fully vectorized computer program has been developed and applied to steady and unsteady maneuvering delta wings. The capability of the three-dimensional program has been demonstrated for a rigid sharp-edged delta wing undergoing uniform rolling in a conical flow and rolling oscillations in a locally conical flow.
