Hybrid Viscous Layer Insertion in a Tetrahedral Mesh
نویسندگان
چکیده
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods for viscous computations often require high quality computational meshes. The viscous layer area needs to be meshed at a high resolution, leading to highly anisotropic meshes. The methodology developed in this article addresses this issue, enabling the creation of a viscous layer in a tetrahedral (or hybrid polyhedral) mesh, so that the inner meshing is preserved while the viscous layer area is correctly meshed. It uses a surfacic clustering process, followed by the combination of the deletion of a layer of cells and the generation of new ones through the projection of the remaining surface faces onto the original surface.

Inserting curved boundary layers for viscous flow simulation with high-order tetrahedra
We propose an a posteriori approach for generating curved meshes for viscous flow simulations composed by high-order tetrahedra. The proposed approach is performed in the following three steps: (1) generate a linear tetrahedral mesh for inviscid flow; (2) insert a boundary layer mesh, composed by linear tetrahedra, on the viscous part; and (3) convert the linear tetrahedral mesh to a curved and...

This paper presents a robust and automated approach to generate unstructured hybrid grids comprised of prismatic and tetrahedral elements for viscous flow computations. The hybrid mesh generation starts from a triangulated surface mesh. The prismatic elements are extruded based on the weak solutions of the Eikonal equation to generate anisotropic elements at boundaries, and finally the isotropi...

A novel algorithm to generate quadand hex-dominant, semistructured meshes is presented. The algorithm utilizes a three-step, advancing layer scheme to generate the mesh in structured layers starting from an initial data surface. First, a locally orthogonal reference mesh is algebraically generated. The reference mesh is then smoothed using a Poisson-type mesh generation equation. Finally, a lin...

This paper presents a robust and automated approach to generate unstructured hybrid grids comprised of tetrahedra, prisms, and pyramids for high Reynolds number flow computations. The hybrid mesh generation starts with isotropic tetrahedral grids to enhance the robustness. The tetrahedra near no-slip walls are shifted inward and the resulting gap between the tetrahedra and the walls is filled u...
