Adaptive Mesh Euler Equation Computations of Vortex Breakdown in Delta Wing Flow

A solution method for the three-dimensional Euler equations is formulated and implemented. The solver uses an unstructured mesh of tetrahedral cells and performs adaptive refinement by mesh-point embedding to increase mesh resolution in regions of interesting flow features. The fourth-difference...
