Applications of Differential Topology to Grid Generation.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to indicate how smoothing techniques from Differential Topology can be applied to the area of algebraic grid generation in Computational Fluid Dynamics. The basic method is to patch together one global grid from a number of smaller ones. The smoothing theory allows one to blend the grid from one section into the grid of an adjacent one. Keywords: X-24C aircraft; Simpson's rule; Wing body configurations; Computations; Convolution integrals. (Author)
