Adaptive numerical solutions of the Euler equations in 3D using finite elementsThe development of an adaptive mesh solution for a flow involving shock interaction on a swept cylinder and an initial solution for a flow past a complex fighter configuration is reported. The finite element solution algorithm, the mesh generation, and the adaptivity of the solution are described. Sample results for the flow past an F-18 configuration at Mach 0.9 and alpha of 3 deg and for shock interaction on a swept cylinder at Mach 8.04 are summarized.
