Further development of a one-dimensional unsteady Euler code for wave rotor applications

Abstract

The EULER1 Fortran program for computing one-dimensional unsteady flow based on the QAZlD method of Verhoff was extended to provide tracking and correcting of discontinuities, flow to right or left and open and closed end boundary conditions. The program was run on four shock tube test cases to verify accuracy and range of capability of the revised E1DV2 code. Further extensions and test verifications are recommended so that the code is suitable for wave rotor applications.
