The Reynolds numbers considered are low to medium, and the flow is compressible. Most of the computations are performed in a two dimensional domain, with different grid sizes, Reynolds number and order of accuracy of the scheme. Finally, a three dimensional computation is made in order to examine the relevance of the two dimensional model.} }
