Title: Adaptive remeshing for compressible flow computations
Abstract: An adaptive mesh procedure for improving the quality of steady state solutions of the Euler equations in two dimensions is described. The procedure is implemented in conjunction with a finite element solution algorithm, using linear triangular elements, and an explicit time-stepping scheme. The mesh adaptation is accomplished by regeneration using information provided by the computed solution on the current mesh. The meshes produced are characterised by the appearance of stretched elements in the vicinity of one-dimensional flow features and can exhibit a large variation in element size. This allows solutions of enhanced quality to be produced in a computationally efficient manner.
