Institution Cranfield Institute of Technology, College of Aeronautics, Department of Aerodynamics and Fluid Mechanics Date 1991-08-31 Abstract Three topics on modern shock capturing methods for the time-dependent Euler equations of Gas Djméimics are addressed. First we present the Weighted Average Flux Method (or WAF), one of several Riemêinn-problem based shock capturing methods. Then we deal with the Riemann problem. We present an efficient exact Riemann solver, a robust non-iterative Riemann solver based on the behaviour of the exact solver, and an improved version of the Harten-Lax-van Leer Riemann solver. Also, a very simple linearised Riemeuin solver is presented together with a Riemann solver adaptation procedure. We also present a Riemann-solver adaptation procedure that has proved successful. Applications of the WAF method with the various Riemann solvers are presented. Starting in 1946 as the College of Aeronautics, the Cranfield Institute of Technology was granted university status in 1969. In 1993 it changed its name to Cranfield University.
