An enhancement of the boundary treatments using ghost points is then described. Several examples are used to demonstrate the viability of the approach for inviscid flow simulations. 1 Introduction With recent new threats to civilian infrastructures, the fast and accurate assessment of potential blast damage to targeted structures is requiring the use of more and more complex coupled CFDICSD simulations. Two types of grids are commonly used: body conforming grids and embedded grids. For bodyconforming grids, the external mesh faces match up with the surfaces (CSD faces, and outer boundaries) of the domain. The embedded
