Abstract

The ICE technique for numerical fluid dynamics has been revised considerably, and generalized in such a way as to extend the applicability to fluid flows with arbitrary equation of state and the full viscous stress tensor. The method is useful for the numerical solution of time-dependent fluid flow problems in several space dimensions, for all Mach numbers from zero (incompressible limit) to infinity (hypersonic limit). This new version is considerably less complicated than the original form. The present description does not assume a familiarity with the previous one.
