ABSTRACT:


We confront conventional wisdom and show that discontinuous Galerkin spectral element methods for inviscid and viscous compressible flows can not only be easy to implement, but are efficient when compared to high order compact finite difference methods. We then compare the efficiency of serial and parallel implementations of implicit and explicit time integration strategies for both steady and time dependent flows.
