In the present study, an efficient implementation technique of the van Leer's implicit operator is suggested in accordance with the Roe's explicit operator. By using an efficient treatment of the off-diagonal terms, which occupy most of the memory requirement for the linear system of equations, it is shown that the improved scheme only requires less than 30% of memory and is approximately 10-20% faster than the baseline scheme.

An efficient Gauss-Seidel time integration scheme is developed for solving the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations on unstructured meshes. Roe's FDS is used for the explicit residual computations and van Leer's FVS for evaluating implicit flux Jacobian. To reduce the memory requirement to a minimum level, off-diagonal flux Jacobian contributions are repeatedly calculated during the Gauss-Seidel sub-iteration process. Computational results based on the present scheme show that approximately $15\%$ of CPU time reduction is achieved while maintaining the memory requirement level to $50-60\%$ of the original Gauss-Seidel scheme.
