On One Method for Calculating Nonstationary Heat Transfer between a Gas Flow and a Solid Body.

A method for calculating the nonstationary thermal interaction between a viscous gas flow and a solid body is presented. The method consists in direct joint integration over time of the equations of gas dynamics of a multicomponent mixture and the heat equation in a solid on multi-block unstructured meshes. To calculate one time step, the system of governing equations is split into hyperbolic and parabolic subsystems. The numerical method provides approximation of the matching condition (continuity of temperature and the normal component of the heat flux) at the interface between gas and solid and is efficient for nonstationary calculations. The comparison with the analytical solution of the model problem of the interaction of a high-speed flow and a heated plate confirm the efficiency of the method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
