Computation of 2D Inviscid Hypersonic Flows Using Unstructured Polygonal Meshes

  • Conference paper
Hypersonic Flows for Reentry Problems

Abstract

The use of unstructured polygonal meshes for the solution of the 2D compressible Euler equations is described together with a solution adaptive grid refinement strategy which enables better shock capturing. Results are shown for the double ellipse test cases 6.1.1 and 6.1.3.
