TURBOGRID - Turbomachinery applications of grid generation
Abstract
Numerical grid generation algorithm associated with the field region about turbomachinery systems is presented. The algorithm is incorporated as a module, TIGER (Turbomachinery Interactive Grid genERation) of the modular general purpose computer code GENIE. Interactive definitions of the mathematical description of blades, hub and shroud with minimal user interactions, adaption of the weighted transfinite interpolation technique for efficient generation of grid blocks/zones, automatic construction of the Bezier curves to accomplish slope continuity, and efficient utilization of IRIS-graphics capabilities are the salient features of this algorithm which results in a significant time savings for a given turbomachinery geometry-grid application.
