High-order accurate discontinuous Galerkin methods in computational fluid dynamics: from model problems to complex turbulent flows

Schemes with order of accuracy higher than two have become a hot topic in CFD, and the perspective of applying them in industrial aeronautical context is realistic within the next decade. In this course the basics and state of the art of the following methods will be discussed in detail: Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element methods; Spectral Element and Finite Volume methods; ENO-reconstruction and Residual Based Finite Volume Methods; Residual Distribution schemes. Applications are foreseen in the area of compressible aerodynamics and aeroacoustics. The course is organized in collaboration with the European Union targeted research project ADIGMA, and will bring together a balanced mix of European and American top researchers in the field.
