Summary

The AUSM+ (Advection Upstream Splitting Method) scheme which was developed on a structured grid has been extended to be used on an unstructured grid. The monotone linear reconstruction procedure using Green-Gauss theory is utilized to obtain second-order spatial accuracy. Barth's limiter is employed to prevent the solution from spurious oscillations. An adaptive multigrid strategy is used to accelerate the convergence. Numerical results for several test cases are presented.
