Abstract

Abstract: In this paper, a unified framework to develop all-speed HLL-type schemes for hypersonic heating computations is constructed. Such a unified construction method combines two effective improving techniques: a shock robustness improvement and a low-Mach number fix. It is implemented by properly modifying the approximate solutions of the local Riemann problem in the HLL framework, resulting in two all-speed HLL-type schemes, namely ASHLLC and ASHLLEM solvers. Results from both numerical analysis and experiments demonstrate that the newly proposed schemes not only preserve desirable properties of their original versions, but are also able to provide accurate and robust solutions for complex flows ranging from low-Mach number incompressible to hypersonic compressible regimes. Thus, both the ASHLLC and ASHLLEM schemes can be used as reliable methods for hypersonic heating computations. Highlights: A unified construction of all-speed HLL-type schemes are developed. Both schemes are endowed with high resistance against shock anomalies. Both methods are able to provide physical solutions at low speeds. The all-speed schemes can be used for reliable hypersonic heating predictions.
