Abstract A finite‐volume method for the solution of three‐dimensional inviscid compressible flows on cell‐vertex tetrahedral meshes is proposed. A higher‐order‐accurate upwind discretization is obtained by using a new linear reconstruction and a standard flux‐difference‐splitting scheme. The method is validated by computing the subsonic flow in a 90° rectangular elbow with a total pressure gradient imposed at inlet. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
