A locally refined rectangular grid finite element method: application to computational fluid dynamics and computational physics
David P. Young,Robin G. Melvin,Michael B. Bieterman,Forrester T. Johnson,Satish S. Samant,John E. Bussoletti +5 more
TL;DR: A new finite element method for solving important linear and nonlinear boundary value problems arising in computational physics is described, designed to handle general three-dimensional regions, boundary conditions, and material properties.

Recent progress in aerodynamic design optimization
Robin G. Melvin,W. P. Huffman,David P. Young,Forrester T. Johnson,C. L. Hilmes,Michael B. Bieterman +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the use of design optimization in aerodynamics using the TRANAIR code is considered and globalization techniques and the extension of the methodology to multipoint design are discussed.

An adaptive grid method for analysis of 3D aircraft configurations
Michael B. Bieterman,John E. Bussoletti,Craig L. Hilmes,Forrester T. Johnson,Robin G. Melvin,David P. Young +5 more
TL;DR: The adaptive grid method implemented in the 3D general geometry CFD code TRANAIR is described and many computational comparisons are presented to explain the reasoning behind the local error indicator and gridding strategy used.

Global convergence of inexact newton methods for transonic flow
TL;DR: In this paper, an inexact Newton method using the GMRES algorithm of Saad and Schultz is examined in the context of the full potential equation of aerodynamics, and the continuation methods can be used to augment the local damping strategy to achieve convergence for difficult transonic flow problems.
