The Importance of Mesh Adaptation for Higher-Order Discretizations of Aerodynamic Flows

This work presents an adaptive framework for a higher-order discretization of the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. The adaptation strategy is based on an output-based error estimate and explicit control of the degrees of freedom. Adaptation iterates toward the generation of simplex...
