Quadrilateral Surface Meshes
CENTAUR is able to generate a structured quadrilateral surface mesh for any 4-sided surface. These structured quads are then used to create layers of locally structured hexahedra in the boundary layer region. The mesh spacing can be user-specified or automatically computed by the mesh generator.
Structured surface meshes allow for a high quality mesh to be created for a variety of cases including:
|
Wings and Blades requiring high aspect ratio, aligned grids. |
|
Simulations using turbulence models requiring hexahedra instead of prisms. |
|
Cases using Hex Blocks to add additional hexahedra to the domain or to fill an entire geometry / region with hexahedra. |
