Review text

A sequence of transformations is used to map a three-dimensional aerodynamic shape into a simplified configuration. Coordinate surfaces are generated in the mapped space and the transformation sequence is inverted to produce a three-dimensional mesh that conforms with solid boundaries. The method has been used to generate mshes about typical aircraft shapes consisting of a wing, body, tail and fin.
