In this paper an improved front tracking method for the Euler equations is presented. The method is improved by assigning wave types to the fronts. These wave types determine the velocities of the fronts and their mutual interactions. This results in a physically more consistent, a more accurate and a faster simulation. The method is applied to the Euler equations for one-dimensional unsteady and supersonic two-dimensional steady flow
