A superlinearly convergent Mach-uniform finite volume method for the Euler equations on staggered unstructured grids

A Mach-uniform finite volume scheme for solving the unsteady Euler equations on staggered unstructured triangular grids that uses linear reconstruction is described. The scheme is applied to three benchmark problems and is found to be considerably more accurate than a similar scheme based on piecewise constant reconstruction.
