Abstract

The electromagnetic force introduces a new physics dimension for enhancing aerodynamic performance of aerospace vehicles. In order to simulate interdisciplinary phenomena, the Navier–Stokes and Maxwell equations in the time domain must be integrated on a common frame of reference. For a wide range of applications from subsonic unmanned vehicles to hypersonic flight control, the resultant nonlinear partial differential equations offer a formidable challenge for numerical analysis. The experience and physical insight using the approximate Riemann and compact-differencing formulation as well as several temporal discritizations will be shared. The most recent development and advancement in numerical procedures for solving this system of governing equations are delineated
