A zonal grid methodology has been developed for the calculation of compressible fluid flows. The domain subdivision is based on patched grid systems composed of zones or blocks within which a distinct curvilinear grid is generated. The flow simulation is then carried out with a modified scheme based on the Euler finite volume solver of Ni. This scheme uses a distribution procedure that provides an easy and accurate way for the transfer of information from one block to another. This method results in a naturally conservative computation at the interfaces. It is analysed and developed for the treatment of embedded grids with a grid point common to more than four blocks.
