In this paper an overview is given of the space-time discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for the solution of the Euler equations of gas dynamics. This technique is well suited for problems which require moving meshes to deal with changes in the domain boundary. The method is demonstrated with the simulation of the elastic deformation of a wing in subsonic and transonic flow.

State of the art turbomachinery flow analysis codes are not capable of predicting the viscous flow features within turbomachinery blade wakes. Until efficient 3D viscous flow analysis codes become a reality there is therefore a need for models which can describe the generation and transport of blade wakes and the mixing process within the wake. To address the need for experimental data to suppo...

1 Introduction This paper is written to commemorate the sixtieth birthday of Paul Garabedian. While Paul has made broad ranging contributions in mathematics, fluid dynamics and plasma physics, his work on computational aerodynamics had a very forceful impact at a critical juncture in the development of this subject. I believe that this work should be regarded as being very much in the tradition...

The problems of steady, inviscid, isentropic, irrotational supersonic plane flow passing a body with small thickness ratio was solved by the linearized theory, which is first approximation at and near surface but fails far fields from body. Such problem W.D. Hayes’ “pseudo-transonic” nonlinear theory in 1954. This field disturbance reexamined this study using asymptotic expansion theory. A syst...
