Abstract
During the ADIGMA project ARA have investigated various aspects relating to grid generation for higher-order solvers.Within the industrial hybrid mesh generation code SOLAR we have both implemented a higher-order boundary representation, and have propagated the influence of this boundary into the volume mesh. Although subject to some minor limitations, this capability has a near industrial level of robustness and has successfully generated grids for a variety of geometries of industrial interest, including the ONERA M6 wing and DLR-F6 wing-body. A mesh-quality toolkit for analysis of the SOLAR higher-order grids has been developed. This code has a modular design, to allow for simple implementation of new metrics, and currently includes a number of metrics which have been used to analyse the grids generated within the project.
