Spatial Adaptation Procedure On Unstructured Meshes For Steady And Unsteady Flows Around Bluff-bodies

Authors : Azzi A. .

Abstract

Two-dimensional, compressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations are solved numerically by finite volume method to predict steady and unsteady flows around bluff-bodies. An unstructured grid generator code is linked in an automatic way to the flow solver within a spatial adaptation procedure. The aim is to predict complex compressible flows such as shock waves and separated boundary layers with accurate and efficient calculations. Computational results for many test cases are compared successfully with published data.
