چکیده

High aspect-ratio grids are required for accurate solution of boundary layer and wake flow. An approach for the efficient generation f isotropic and stretched viscous unstructured grids is introduced in this paper. The proposed grid generation algorithm starts with very coarse initial grid. In far field regions, isotropic cells of excellent quality are produced using a combination of point insertion nd cell subdivision techniques. Simultaneously, a directional grid refinement strategy is used to construct highly stretched triangular ells in viscous dominated regions. First, anisotropic unstructured grids are produced in the stream-wise direction. Then, cells close o the solid surface are refined to highly stretched layer of triangles suitable for boundary layer region. The accuracy of the current rid generation approach is assessed by laminar and turbulent compressible flow solutions around NACA0012, RAE2822, and HLP multi-element airfoils. Numerical flow simulation results are compared with published data. Comparisons point to accuracy f the proposed unstructured viscous grid generation procedure. 2012 IMACS. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Representing urban geometries for unstructured mesh generation

We present a robust and automatic method to generate an idealized surface geometry of a city landscape ready to be meshed for computer simulations. The city geometry is idealized for non viscous flow simulations and targets two main geometrical features: the topography and the city blocks. The procedure is fully automatic and demands no human interaction given the following source data: the cit...

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 ...

Adaptive Solution of Steady Two Dimensional Flow on an Unstructured Grid

Two-dimensional Euler equations have been solved on an unstructured grid. An upwind finite volume scheme, based on Roes flux difference splitting method, is used to discretize the equations. Using advancing front method, an initial Delaunay triangulation has been made. The adaptation procedure involves mesh enrichment coarsening in regions of flow with high low gradients of flow properties, acc...
