Computational Analysis of Gas Kinetic Bhatnagar-Grosskrook Scheme for Inviscid Compressible Flow

Many numerical schemes have been developed in the field of computational fluid dynamics to simulate inviscid, compressible flows.Among those most notable and successful are the Godunov-type schemes and flux vector splitting schemes.Besides these numerical schemes, schemes based on the gas kinetic t...
