A grid generation and flow solution method for the Euler equations on unstructured grids (Q1316004): Difference between revisions

A grid generation and flow solution algorithm for the Euler equations on unstructured grids is presented. The grid generation scheme utilizes Delaunay triangulation and self-generates the field points for the mesh based on cell aspect ratios and allows for clustering near solid surfaces. The flow solution method is an implicit algorithm in which the linear set of equations arising at each time step is solved using a Gauss-Seidel procedure which is completely vectorizable. Preliminary three-dimensional results are also shown in which subsonic flow over a business jet is computed.
