UNSTRUCTURED MOVING-GRID FINITE-VOLUME METHOD FOR UNSTEADY SHOCKED FLOWS

Unstructured grid system is suitable for flows of complex geometries. For problems with moving boundary walls, the grid system must be time-dependently changing and deforming according to the movement of the boundaries when we use a body fitted grid system. In this paper, a new moving-grid finite-volume method on unstructured grid system is proposed and developed for unsteady compressible flows with shock waves. To assure geometric conservation laws on moving grid system, a control volume on the space-time unified domain is adopted for estimating numerical flux. The method is described and applied for two-dimensional flows.
