Numerical simulation of interaction of compressible flow and a moving airfoil

Abstract

The paper is concerned with the numerical solution of interaction of compressible flow and a moving airfoil with two degrees of freedom. The ALE form of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations is discretized by the discontinuous Galerkin method.

The method is tested on a technically relevant problem.
