Abstract

The paper presents a low-Mach number (LM) treatment technique for high-order, Finite-Volume (FV) schemes for the Euler and the compressible Navier–Stokes equations. We concentrate our efforts on the implementation of the LM treatment for the unstructured mesh framework, both in two and three spatial dimensions, and highlight the key differences compared with the method for structured grids. The main scope of the LM technique is to at least maintain the accuracy of low speed regions without introducing artefacts and hampering the global solution and stability of the numerical scheme. Two families of spatial schemes are considered within the k-exact FV framework: the Monotonic Upstream-Centered Scheme for Conservation Laws (MUSCL) and the Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory (WENO). The simulations are advanced in time with an explicit third-order Strong Stability Preserving (SSP) Runge–Kutta method. Several flow problems are considered for inviscid and turbulent flows where the obtained solutions are compared with referenced data. The associated benefits of the method are analysed in terms of overall accuracy, dissipation characteristics, order of scheme, spatial resolution and grid composition.
