Use CONVERGE to capture shock wave

williamchina · September 9, 2016, 04:46

As CONVERGE offers compressible solver, can it be used to capture the shock wave in studying the phenomena, such as engine knock, detonation?

What will limit the confidence/accuracy in capturing shock wave in CONVERGE.

Recommendations on relevant papers using CONVERGE are welcomed.

Yes, CONVERGE can be used in shock wave capture and things like that. Actually, we have done a lot of supersonic/transonic cases. Remember to turn on the total energy solver for this type of simulations.

An example can be found here

Hope it helps.
