Abstract

An upwind cell‐centered finite element formulation is combined with an adaptive meshing technique to solve Navier‐Stokes equations for high‐speed inviscid and viscous compressible flows. The finite element formulation and the computational procedure are described. An adaptive meshing technique is applied to increase the analysis solution accuracy, as well as to minimize the computational time and the computer memory requirement. The efficiency of the combined method is evaluated by the examples of Mach 2.6 inviscid flow in a channel with compression and expansion ramps, Mach 6.47 inviscid and viscous flows past a cylinder, and Mach 4 viscous flow over a flat plate.
