A contribution to adaptive numerical solution of compressible flow problems

The monograph presents recent developments on the solution of high speed compressible flow problems using finite element and finite point (meshless) methods with adaptive refinement, techniques. This work treats two of the main problems of today's problems related to computational fluid dynamics. One problem dealt with is the assured accuracry of a numerical model, at least for the problems which are presented. The other problem which is addressed is the vast amount of time spent in generating (or regenerating) a mes in the design process
