Computation of three-dimensional, inviscid supersonic flows

The paper sets forth in detail a method for the finite-difference computation of three-dimensional supersonic fields in an Eulerian mesh. First-, second-, and third-order finite difference schemes are examined. Attention is given to proper treatment of the impermeable and permeable boundaries encompassing the computational plane. Numerical results are presented for certain specific configurations: a conical wing-body combination, internal corner flow, a two-dimensional blunt body, an interfering shock problem, and three-dimensional inviscid supersonic flow past a shuttle-orbiter type vehicle.
