Hi, all
The following question related to supersonic simulations always puzzles me: we say that the boundary conditions for supersonic and subsonic are different. This means that at every time step on the boundaries we need to judge the local Mach number to see if the local flow is supersonic or subsonic and then apply the corresponding different B.C.s? Thanks a lot! |

Yes, for a supersonic flow the (u+c) and (u-c) characteristics are both positive, so disturbances from the interior of the domain do not affect the inlet boundary condition. For exit boundary conditions the opposite logic applies. Hope this helps

Dear Leebro. Thanks for your reply. However this is not my question. More specifically, for instance even for the exist, part is supersonic and part is subsonic. For this case how to impose B.C.s? I mean shall we judge every grid point on the exit to see the local Mach and use different B.C. at different grid points on the exit boundary? Hope to get help from you.
