A New Algorithm for Shock Sensor Calculation at Supersonic Speeds on a 3D-Unstructured Grid by Vahid Tahmasbi, Seyed Mohammad Hossein Karimian

“…The new algorithm, implemented at an in-house code, is evaluated by comparison of its results with wind tunnel test data and upwindtype differencing scheme of Roe for a tailplane model tested at Royal Aircraft Establishment. The results show that supersonic flow with shock waves has been accurately captured.…”
