The use of an implicit numerical scheme, analogous to MacCormack's 1 , for the supersonic laminar two‐dimensional compression corner flow problem using unsteady Navier–Stokes equations is demonstrated. The technique entails a reduction of about 70 per cent in the computation time for a Courant number of 5, but it is characterized by an increase of approximately 20 per cent in computer memory requirement.
