Popis: An implicit finite element numerical algorithm is derived for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations expressed in generalized coordinates. The theoretical basis utilizes a Galerkin weighted residuals formulation and extremization of approximation error within the context of a multipole expansion. A simplified yon Neumann analysis indicates the algorithm fourth-order phase accurate with third-order dissipation for the elementary linear basis construction. Algorithm performance is nominally improved using a quadratic basis. Numerical experiments for shocked duct flows are employed to refine the several algorithm parameters.
