Abstract: The stable capture of hypersonic strong shock waves is still extremely challenging. At present, the numerical scheme used in engineering calculations usually encounters obvious shock instability when simulating multi-dimensional strong shock waves. Moreover, the shock stability of the numerical scheme depends on the computational grid. Based on the method of matrix stability analysis, this paper compared the ability of numerical schemes with different dissipation properties to capture shock waves, and analysed the shock stability of spatial second-order precision schemes as well as the effect of different limiters. On this basis, this paper explored the influence of computing grid on shock stability, and the influence of aspect ratio and distortion angle of grid on shock wave stability was studied. The research results show that in the vicinity of the shock wave, increasing the grid aspect ratio or the grid distortion angle can effectively improve the stability of shock capture. Moreover, compared to increasing the grid aspect ratio, changing the grid distortion angle has a more obvious effect on improving the stability of shock capture. Numerical dissipation analysis is conducted, and the grid-dependent mechanism of numerical shock instability under high Mach number is discussed.
