Abstract: | Typically, segregated methods have been used for the computation of incompressible flows whereas coupled solvers, for compressible flows. Compared to coupled solvers, segregated methods present the advantage of computational savings in RAM memory and CPU time, although at the cost of an inferior robustness. However, previously published segregated algorithms for general compressible flows are known to present pitfalls, like convergence to wrong solutions, lack of robustness in the presence of strong discontinuities, such as normal and oblique shocks, and complicated boundary condition imposition. Therefore, in this paper a segregated method for non‐isothermal compressible flows is proposed that preserves the thermodynamic coupling and overcomes the criticisms of existing methods.
