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