IDIHOM: Industrialization of High-Order Methods - A Top-Down Approach

Part of the book series: Notes on Numerical Fluid Mechanics and Multidisciplinary Design ((NNFM,volume 128))

Abstract

Within the IDIHOM project, ARA have worked to develop a high-order grid generation capability that allows the generation of meshes on three dimensional aircraft configurations typical of the complexity currently used in industrial finite volume simulations. Details of this capability are provided alongside examples of meshes generated using it and a discussion of its strengths and limitations. We conclude by considering the ways in which this existing capability may be further enhanced to provide a fully industrialised capability.
