Algorithmic Enhancements to the VULCAN Navier-Stokes Solver

Work performed over the last three years has resulted in the addition of several new algorithms to the VULCAN code, NASA's standard for Navier-Stokes calculations in high-speed aeropropulsion devices. This final report describes the new techniques in brief and presents sample results from their use.
