TY  - JOUR
AB  - The flux reconstruction (FR) approach offers an efficient route to high-order accuracy on unstructured grids. In this work we study the effect of solution point placement on the stability and accuracy of FR schemes on tetrahedral grids. To accomplish this we generate a large number of solution point candidates that satisfy various criteria at polynomial orders  ℘=3,4,5℘=3,4,5 . We then proceed to assess their properties by using them to solve the non-linear Euler equations on both structured and unstructured meshes. The results demonstrate that the location of the solution points is important in terms of both the stability and accuracy. Across a range of cases it is possible to outperform the solution points of Shunn and Ham for specific problems. However, there appears to be a degree of problem-dependence with regards to the optimal point set, and hence overall it is concluded that the Shunn and Ham points offer a good compromise in terms of practical utility.
