Application of three-dimensional hybrid structured/unstructured grids to land, sea and air vehicles
Abstract
The use of a numerical grid generation facility capable of forming unstructured meshes, block-structured meshes and a hybrid combination of these alternative mesh types is described. Examples of meshes created for cars, submarines, missiles and powered civil and military aircraft are given. The motives for choosing a particular type of mesh for each applied configuration are covered, with grid related data given which includes the amount of user effort required to attain the grids. Throughout the paper, algorithms are referred to which have been invoked in the creation of the meshes. These algorithms are introduced in a companion paper within the same conference proceedings.
