Journal of Engineering Mathematics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Shuman's method of filtering short-wave components is discussed. In certain cases, this method can be used to prevent nonlinear instabilities in numerical calculations. As illustrative example, the computation of a detached shock in front of a blunt body is considered.
