Preliminary design and analysis of procedures for the numerical generation of 3D block-structured grids

An analysis of various alternative approaches in grid generation is presented. A grid-generation procedure for complex aircraft configurations could be based on a combination of three subprocesses, . decomposition of the flow domain into about 100 hexahedronal blocks, . trilineair transfinite interpolation to generate initial grid point...

A multigrid algorithm for steady transonic potential flows around aerofoils using Newton iteration

The application of multigrid relaxation to transonic potential-flow calculation was investigated. Fully conservative potential flows around aerofoils were taken as test problems. The solution algorithm was based on Newton iteration. In each Newton iteration step, multigrid relaxation was used to calculate correction potentials. It was found that...
