Part of the book series: ICASE/NASA LaRC Series ((ICASE/NASA))

Abstract

In this paper, a general class of h methods for adaptive finite element approximations is described that has been applied successfully to three classes of problems in solid and fluid mechanics:

  1. (1)

    supersonic flow of compressible gases in two-dimensional domains;

  2. (2)

    flow interaction in supersonic rotor-stator simulations;

  3. (3)

    quasi-static problems in viscoplasticity of metals under elevated temperatures.
