The high-order methods is difficultly applied in various elements. The development of a 3D solver by using the spectral difference method of unstructured grids via mixed elements is presented. A mixed tri-prism and tetrahedral grid is firstly refined using one-level h-refinement to generate a hexahedral grid while keeping the curvature of wall boundaries. The SD method designed for hexahedral elements can subsequently be applied for refining the unstructured grid. Through a series of numerical tests, the present method is high-order accurate for both inviscid and viscous flows is demonstrated; the results obtained for inviscid and viscous compressible flows compare well with other published results.
