Abstract

Our objective is to develop a procedure for efficient generation of high-quality solution-adapted grids suitable for viscous flow applications. The overall approach taken in this work for solution adaptation is to generate high-aspect-ratio elements in the boundary-layer regions and to capture inviscid features and detached viscous features independently using different adaptation procedures.
