Automatic hole-cutting in overset grids using the X-rays approach
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Overset grids resolve complicated geometries by creating high quality structured grids that are independently built for each component. This simplifies the process of grid generation, but domain connectivity must be performed so that adjacent grids share information. Currently available domain connectivity tools tend to be computationally expensive or require extensive user input. The X-rays approach is a robust and computationally efficient method, but it requires considerable user input and iteration. Shortcomings of the current X-rays method are explored to automate and improve the algorithm. Significant user time is saved by identifying and eliminating the manual bottlenecks of the X-rays approach. In addition, automation of the hole boundary adjustment helps to improve the accuracy of the solution. It is now possible to solve relative motion problems with significantly less user inputs, considerably reducing the design cycle time in engineering CFD analysis.
