Abstract

The implicit kinetic schemes, namely the Kinetic Flux-Vector-Split (KFVS) and the Kinetc Wave/Particle Split (KWPS) schemes are derived for the Euler and ideal MHD equations. The schemes are applied to compute the 2D flow fields due to a cylindrical blast wave, and the supersonic flow over a planar blunt body, both with and without the magnetic field. For the ideal ...
