TI - An immersed boundary technique using semi-structured grids for computing compressible viscous flows T2 - The International Conference on Computational \& Experimental Engineering and Sciences PY - 2007 VL - 3 IS - 3 SN - 1933-2815 AB - This paper provides a numerical method based on the immersed boundary approach for computing compressible viscous flows. The efficency of the method is enhanced by using a flexible local grid refinement technique which is obtained by coarsening a uniformly fine mesh far from high-gradient flow regions, such as boundary layers and shocks.
