An alternative to unstructured grids for computing gas dynamic flows around arbitrarily complex two-dimensional bodies. (English) Zbl 0788.76067

The author describes an alternative approach for dealing with complex two-dimensional geometries. A number of practical problems are mentioned, and methods to overcome these problems are explained. A general strategy for the conversion of an adaptive mesh algorithm from a body-fitted code to a boundary code is illustrated.
