Abstract
In this work a higher-order accurate finite volume method for the resolution of the Euler/Navier–Stokes equations using Chimera grid techniques is presented. The formulation is based on the use of Moving Least Squares approximations in order to obtain higher-order accurate reconstruction and connectivity between the overlapped grids. The accuracy and performance of the proposed methodology is demonstrated by solving different benchmark problems.
