## Progress on adaptive $$hp$$-finite element methods for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations.(English)Zbl 0771.76040

This paper describes progress made toward the development of a general purpose CFD program that incorporates most of the new methodologies. The general approach is embodied in the code, P3/CFD, of PDA Engineering. Some special properties of this code should be noted.
