Application of Curvilinear Coordinate Generation Techniques to the Computation of Internal Flows,
Abstract
In recent years, considerable effort has been focused on the development of techniques for the generation of curvilinear coordinates to facilitate computation of fluid flows in a variety of complex configurations. This paper focuses on the application of such techniques to the computation of internal flows. It is divided into three major sections. First, a brief review of applications of grid generation techniques in internal flows is presented. Due to the impending publication of a major review article on grid generation covering up to mid-1981, the present discussion focuses on a number of recent publications. Second, a simple method for generating orthogonal or nearly orthogonal curvilinear grids with controlled mesh spacing is presented. Third, a current research problem in generation of three-dimensional internal flow grids is discussed.
