An algebraic grid generation technique for time-varying two-dimensional spatial domains
Abstract
Extending the two-boundary technique of Smith (1980) so that the grid points can move in the spatial domains in addition to nonuniform distribution, an efficient and versatile algebraic technique for generating grid points in irregularly shaped and time-varying spatial domains is presented. The present six-step method is demonstrated by generating grid points inside one of the combustion chambers of a motored two-dimensional rotary engine, and obtaining numerical solutions for the flow field inside one the the combustion chambers.
