Numerical computations of solutions governed by the Euler equations are performed. The propagation of a vortex convected through an empty domain, computations of steady state solutions around a NACA0012 airfoil and vortex-airfoil interaction are considered. These computations show that high order methods are often required in order to capture the significant flow features, especially for transient problems. } }
