The present paper aims to couple an unstructured Finite Volume formulation using a multi-level grid overlapping methodology based on geometric intersection algorithms with an adaptive remeshing strategy for unsteady aerodynamics applications. A general highorder repartition of the variables for any subdivision of a cell is presented and then applied to an Adaptive Mesh Refinement module and a disassembling one for the intersected cells: a third-order accurate and conservative projection of the variables has been implemented. An assessment of the accuracy is performed on the advection of a vortex with and without a geometric intersection of grids. Finally a more complex functional test case is studied, it is the resolution of the wake structure of a transsonic square cylinder.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
