FUM—an efficient MmB solver for steady inviscid flows

Abstract A fully upwind MmB method FUM is presented for the numerical prediction of hypersonic inviscid flows around shuttle-like bodies. The method is shock-fitting free, singularity-capturing. It is MmB and entropy-satisfying for 1-D scalar conservation laws. Numerical tests show complex flow fields at high angles of attack and high Mach numbers competitive with those obtained using shock-fitting approaches.
