Summary
A generalized explicit finite difference method for arbitrarily distributed nodes is presented. It is developed for the calculation of two-dimensional unsteady inviscid flows. The advantage of the method is its independence from a regular grid, so that geometrically difficult domains with complicated boundaries can be discretized easily. Numerical results from a test problem (Ringleb Flow) are shown.
