This project implements a supersonic flow over a diamond-shaped airfoil surface using a 2D Euler solver with finite volume formulation.</p> <p>The solver was developed in two stages:</p> <ul> <li>A <strong>first-order AUSM+up</strong> scheme</li> <li>A <strong>higher-order TVD MUSCL formulation</strong></li> </ul> <p>The solver successfully captures <strong>oblique shock waves</strong> generated at the airfoil’s leading edge and compares results (wave angle, Mach number, pressure and temperature ratios) with analytical solutions.</p> <h3 id="results">Results</h3> <ul> <li>Solver captured <strong>leading-edge oblique shocks</strong> accurately.</li> <li>Verified <strong>wave angles and pressure ratios</strong> against analytical data.</li> <li>Demonstrated improvement moving from <strong>first-order AUSM+up</strong> to <strong>MUSCL</strong> scheme.</li> </ul> <p>📄 Full report: <a href="Euler_CFD_Project.pdf">Download here</a></p>
