Abstract

This paper presents a new Lagrangian type scheme for solving the Euler equations of compressible gas dynamics. In this new scheme the system of equations is discretized by Runge-Kutta Discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) method, and the mesh moves with the fluid flow. The scheme is conservative for the mass, momentum and total energy and maintains second-order accuracy. The scheme avoids solving the geometrical part and has free parameters. Results of some numerical tests are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and the non-oscillatory property of the scheme.
