Abstract
The main purpose of the present study was to show that a Lagrangrian approach can simultaneously solve the problem of grid generation and the complication of the present method can solve the compressible flow field around arbitrary aerodynamic configurations for both steady and unsteady flows for a wide range of Mach numbers. In principle the method can be easily extended to three-dimensions. Although the present method is solved by an explicit method, implicit method can also be employed.
