The Generation of Three-Dimensional Body-Fitted Coordinate Systems for Viscous Flow Problems.

Abstract

Analytical development of a set of second order elliptic partial differential equations for the generation of three-dimensional curvilinear coordinates is reported with the generic equations as the Beltrami equations in the surface coordinates. Numerical computation with the aircraft fuselage as the inner body is in progress, with the proposed equations as the generating equations. (Author)
