Abstract: Supersonic inviscid flows in missile propulsive jet are simulated numerically with discontinuous finite element method based on twodimensional conservation laws, which is developed to solve axlsymmetric Euler equations. Computational results show good agreement with experimental data. The method shows higher resolution at discontinuous points compared with TVD schemes. It exhibits high capability in capturing shocks without numerical oscillation and artificial viscosity near discontinuous points.

Key words: discontinuous finite element method, supersonic flow, numerical simulation
