The adaptive framework is realized with cell-wise, variable-order DG refinements and a dynamic assembly of elemental Jacobian matrices. The accuracy and performance gain are investigated for several benchmark cases up to a realistic, three-dimensional rotor flow. Numerical results are shown to be more efficient than the use of uniform-order exponential DG for simulating viscous flows. %K Exponential Time Discreitzation %K Navier-Stokes Equation %K Discontinuous Galerkin %K Curved Grids %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=100234
