Unstructured Mesh Generation including Directional Reenement for Aerodynamic Flow Simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method for generating directionally reened unstructured tetrahedral meshes is presented. The motivation is the need to eeciently mesh the complex computational domains which are frequently encountered in aerospace applications. In this context, the method is applicable to the construction of meshes suitable for the simulation of inviscid and viscous aerodynamic ows. Minimum user intervention is required and the user speciied stretching distribution is achieved by locally modifying an existing mesh. The interfacing of the mesh generation procedure with available geometry modellers is discussed and certain implementation issues are also addressed. Examples are presented which illustrate the performance of the proposed methodology.

Unstructured Mesh Generation for 3 Dviscous
In this paper we review the procedures which are currently available for the generation of unstructured meshes suitable for use in the simulation of high Reynolds number viscous ows. For such simulations, computational eeciency generally dictates the requirement for the use of highly stretched cells in viscous dominated regions. Meshes of this type cannot be directly generated by the classical ...
