Euler Calculations by Upwind Finite Element Methods and Adaptive Mesh Algorithms

  • Chapter
Book cover Numerical Simulation of Compressible Euler Flows

Abstract

This paper presents Euler calculations employing several recent developments: — a family of upwind finite-element schemes based on approximate Riemann solvers, — mesh adaption procedures.

The approximation is a second-order accurate MUSCL-like scheme, that includes monotonicity-preserving limiters. Efficiency is achieved by an implicit formulation. The solution procedure is combined with a mesh enrichment algorithm by local element division, and a node movement algorithm more specifically adapted to accurately capture 1-D structures (shocks, layers,...).
