Review text

A structured grid based technique is presented to enhance the widely used CFD codes through the use of a solution-adaptive gridding. The procedure redistributes mesh points based upon an existing flowfield. A weight function employing Boolean sums is utilized to represent the local truncation error. This weight function is then used to construct forcing functions associated with an elliptic system. We apply the NURBS representation to define block surfaces for boundary point redistribution. The technique has been applied to a flowfield which involves supersonic freestream conditions at angle of attack, and exhibits large scale separated vortical flow, vortex-vortex and vortex-surface interactions, separated shear layers and multiple shocks of different intensity.
