This book describes the revolutionary capabilities of new shock fitt ing algorithms; a great improvement in computational fluid dynamics (CF D) for high-speed numerical simulations. Shock fitting methods provide a solution to the current difficulties and inaccuracies in shock-captur ing approaches. This work traces the evolution of shock-fitting methods , from the pioneering methods based on the structured grids (boundary a nd floating shock-fitting) to recent developments on unstructured grids , illustrating algorithmic details, significant applications and potent ial developments. Also, to celebrate the centenary birth of the father of shock-fitting techniques, the book also includes a tribute to Gino Moretti, as well as his unpublished manuscript. This book will appeal t o professionals, researchers, and graduate students in the field of CFD .
