The Development of High Order Methods for Real World Applications

Abstract

With increased computational power and progress in numerical methods over the past several decades, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is now used routinely as a powerful tool in the design of aircraft. Current production CFD codes used in the aerospace industry are usually second order accurate. High-order methods have the potential to achieve higher accuracy at less cost than low-order methods. This potential has been demonstrated conclusively for smooth problems in the latest International Workshops on High-Order Methods. For non-smooth problems, solution based hp-adaptation offers the best promise. The primary objective of the present study is to develop robust and efficient high-order CFD methods and tools for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations that can provide engineering accuracy for real world industry problems. Several pacing items are addressed, which include hp-adaptations, sub-grid stress models for large eddy simulations, and high-order mesh generation.
