Flipper User's Manual

Abstract

Multi-block computational fluid dynamics solvers require a tremendous amount of input data before a solution can be obtained. This data primarily exists in two files when using the WRDC/FIMM developed multi-block Euler solver, MERCURY. The first contains the numerical grid while the other holds the boundary conditions and block connection information (the connectivity file). One is often interested in the asymmetrical flow about a symmetrical configuration. Rather than manually constructing the grid and connectivity datasets for a full, symmetric configuration, it is much more efficient to let a computer program automatically generate such datasets from the symmetric portion. FLIPPER is a computer program that reflects any MERCURY grid and boundary condition/connectivity information about they equals zero plane.
