Abstract

Starting from the BGK model [1], anew gas-kinetic scheme is developed for computing steady state solutions to the Euler equations. The discretization has been implemented in a well developed multi-grid time-stepping algorithm, and it has been applied to the solution of typical transonic, flow over two dimensional airfoils. The gas-kinetic formulation used in this work exhibits some similarities with classical discretizations obtained by flux-vector splitting and flux-difference splitting, as well as the SLIP (Symmetric Limited Positive) scheme of Jameson [8, 9]. An important feature of the present scheme is that it can be shown that the entropy condition is always satisfied. The numerical test cases confirm the accuracy and robustness of. the current scheme.
