Keywords: discontinuous galerkin, finite volume, finit element, high-order scheme

Paper demonstrates that Discontinuous Galerkin method provides accurate results even on coarse grids, when coupled with p-adaptation and adaptive meshes and reduces computer resources in comparison with the standard second order finite-volume approach that at present is widely used in CFD.
