Abstract

A method of lines approach is proposed for solving the fluid dynamic equations. The method is based on a combination of the central finite difference approximation to the space variables with a rational Runge-Kutta or a classical Runge-Kutta time integration scheme. Numerical results for both compressible and incompressible flow problems are presented to demonstrate the utility of the present approach.
