Abstract

In this paper a stabilized finite elements approach is utilized in the development of a high-order flow solver for compressible flows. The SUPG discretization is used for the Navier-Stokes equations and a fully implicit methodology is used for advancing the solution at each time step. The order of accuracy is assessed for both inviscid and viscous flows using the method of manufactured solutions. For two dimensional flow, a mesh movement strategy is discussed that allows high aspect ratio curved elements in viscous flow regions. In addition, the effects of curved elements are evaluated in two dimensions using the method of manufactures solutions. Finally, test cases are presented in two and three dimensions and compared with well-established results and/or experimental data.
