On the computation of heat flux in hypersonic flows using residual distribution schemes

In this dissertation the heat flux prediction capabilities of Residual Distribution (RD) schemes for hypersonic flow fields are investigated. Two canonical configurations are considered: the flat plate and the blunt body (cylinder) problems, with a preference for the last one. Both simple perfect ga...
