Improvements to the aircraft Euler method

An unstructured mesh of tetrahedra offers an attractive approach to mesh generation for complex three dimensional shapes. The combination of a method for constructing tetrahedral meshes and a finite element technique for solving the Euler equations has resulted in a powerful new approach to the problem of calculating flows over complex geometries. Recent progress and improvements to the authors' aircraft Euler method are described and results presented to demonstrate its capability.

Multigrid solution of the Euler equations for aircraft configurations

A multigrid scheme for solving the Euler equations is presented. The method has been successfully applied to two-dimensional airfoil calculations on both O-type and C-type meshes. In three dimensions the scheme has proved equally effective and calclations of flows over wing/body combinations are possible with convergence achieved in less than 100 cycles.
