Summary
An explicit finite element solution procedure for the three dimensional Euler equations is presented. The solution domain is automatically meshed using a tetrahedral mesh generator which is an extension of our previous two dimensional work. Several examples are included to illustrate the performance of the generator and the solver. An adaptive mesh regeneration procedure is used for the first time in three dimensions.
