Demonstration of ultra hi-fi (UHF) methods

Computational aero-acoustics (CAA) requires efficient, high-resolution simulation tools. Most current techniques utilize finite-difference approaches because high order accuracy is considered too difficult or expensive to achieve with finite volume or finite element methods. However, a novel finite volume approach i.e. ultra hi-fi (UHF) which utilizes Hermite fluxes is presented which can achieve both arbitrary accuracy and fidelity in space and time. The technique can be applied to unstructured grids with some loss of fidelity or with multi-block structured grids for maximum efficiency and resolution. In either paradigm, it is possible to resolve ultra-short waves (defined as waves having wavelengths that are shorter than a grid cell). This is demonstrated here by solving the 4th CAA workshop Category 1 Problem 1.
