Automated Tetrahedral Mesh Generation for CFD Analysis of Aircraft in Conceptual Design

Irian Ordaz, Wu Li, Richard L. Campbell

Open full text 12 citations

Abstract

The paper introduces an automation process of generating a tetrahedral mesh for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of aircraft configurations in early conceptual design. The method was developed for CFD-based sonic boom analysis of supersonic configurations, but can be applied to aerodynamic analysis of aircraft configurations in any flight regime.
