A convergent finite difference scheme for the Navier-Stokes equations of nonisentropic compressible fluid flow

Thesis/Dissertation ·
OSTI ID:7041534
The main result of this work is an analysis of a finite difference scheme for the Navier-Stokes equations which model nonisentropic, compressible fluid flow in one space dimension. Convergence is proved and error bounds are derived for the scheme. The error is measured in the l[sup 2] norm for u and e; and in the piecewise H[sup 1] norm for v. It is noteworthy that the error bounds dominate sup-norm error bounds for discontinuous variable v. It is shown that the scheme converges at a rate of O([Delta]x[sup r])(r < 1/12) if the initial data is discontinuous, and at O([Delta]x[sup 1/2]) if the initial data is continuous. Numerical results are also presented in the last part of the dissertation.
