Higher-Order and Adaptive Discontinuous Galerkin Methods Applied to Turbulent Delta Wing Flow

  • Chapter
New Results in Numerical and Experimental Fluid Mechanics VIII

Part of the book series: Notes on Numerical Fluid Mechanics and Multidisciplinary Design ((NNFM,volume 121))

Abstract

Discontinuous Galerkin methods allow higher-order flow solutions on unstructured or locally refined meshes by increasing the polynomial degree and using curved instead of straight-sided elements. Residual-based adaptation targets at resolving all flow features. In this article, higher-order discontinuous Galerkin methods are combined with residual-based adaptation and applied to a fully turbulent subsonic flow around the second Vortex Flow Experiment (VFE-2) configuration.
