Least-squares spectral element methods for compressible flows

Abstract

Paper presented at the 6th International Conference on Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics, South Africa, 30 June - 2 July, 2008.

This paper describes the application of the least-squares spectral element method to compressible flow problems. The method is described and results are presented for subsonic, transonic and supersonic flow problems over a bump.
