Programa de Doctorado en Ingeniería Civil. 5011V01[Abstract] Given the large scale of industrial processes, usually a small tweak in a small part of the process can lead to a huge overall savings. This is one of the reasons why there is a growing interest in Computational Fluid Dynamics. The numerical simulation has become a fundamental tool to understand all the variables that intervene in a certain aerodynamic phenomenon and has proven to be of great help when solving problems of interest in Engineering. In this Thesis, high-order numerical methods applied to compressible flows will be developed. Firstly, the formulation of a hybrid method of centered Finite Differences and Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory (WENO) schemes combi...
