The design and application of upwind schemes on unstructured meshes

Timothy J. Barth, Dennis C. Jespersen

Open publisher page 2,238 citations

Abstract

Solution and mesh generation algorithms for solving the Euler equations on unstructured meshes consisting of triangle and quadrilateral control volumes are presented. Cell-centered and mesh-vertex upwind finite-volume schemes are developed which utilize multi-dimensional monotone linear reconstruction procedures. These algorithms differ from existing algorithms (even on structured meshes). Numerical results in two dimensions are presented.
