We describe an upwind finite element method aimed at numerically simulating the two‐dimensional transonic flow of a reactive gaseous mixture. The method uses in particular a triangular finite element mesh, with an adaptive procedure based on mesh refinement by triangle division, and an upwind non‐oscillatory scheme based on an approximate Riemann solver for the evaluation of the convective terms for all species. Results concerning the reactive interaction of two supersonic gaseous jets are presented.
