A General Galerkin Finite Element Method for the Compressible Euler Equations

• In this paper we present a General Galerkin (G2) method for the compressible Euler equations, including turbulent ow. The G2 method presented in this paper is a nite element method with linear approximation in space and time, with componentwise stabilization in the form  of streamline diusion and shock-capturing modi cations. The method conserves mass, momentum  and energy, and we prove an a posteriori version of the 2nd Law of thermodynamics for the method.  We illustrate the method for a laminar shock tube problem for which there exists an exact analytical  solution, and also for a turbulent flow problem
