Efficient high-order accurate unstructured finite-volume algorithms for viscous and inviscid compressible flows

High-order accurate methods have the potential to dramatically reduce the computational time needed for aerodynamics simulations. This thesis studies the discretization and efficient convergence to steady state of the high-order accurate finite-volume method applied to the simplified problem of invi...
