Abstract

Since residual vector in a control volume is the linear combination of inviscid and viscous flux vectors on its all edges when a finite volume method is used, we can use flux vectors instead of residual vector in the formulation of generating Jacobian matrix elements. In the actual numerical calculation, after setting a variable perturbation in a control volume, we only calculate these flux vectors that according to the analysis they will change values because the variable perturbation, therefore we don't need to calculate all flux vectors which will compose of the residual vector. The new procedure decrease the amount of computation greatly, and also reduces the extent of the physical state variables used. For parallel computation the new procedure will short the storage of physical state variables in each subdomain.
