Abstract

An unfactored implicit time-marching method for the solution of the unsteady three dimensional Euler equations is presented. For robustness the convective terms are discretised using an upwind TVD scheme while the unsteady equations are discretised using the implicit pseudo time approach. The pseudo steady state problem is solved using an unfactored implicit method. The linear system arising from each pseudo time step is solved using a Krylov subspace method with preconditioning based on a block incomplete lower-upper (BELU(O)) factorisation. The method in parallel yields high efficiency. Results are shown for unsteady forced pitched WEAG-TA15, LANN and F5 wings to illustrate the efficient performance of the method and the fast calculation times achieved on a PC.
