Dusty shock flow with unstructured adaptive finite elements and parcels

Abstract

Our objective is to formulate and develop an Eulerian-Lagrangian (E-L) method with an adaptive grid FEM-FCT flow solver that is computationally efficient. This method is used to predict a particle laden shock wave attenuation as a test case and to compare performance characteristics (computation speed, memory, and accuracy) with an E-E implentation that also includes adaptive unstructured grids
