TURBULENCE MODEL NUMERICAL ANALYSIS

Grids - 3D Hemisphere Cylinder (NEW)

A paper describing the grid generation for this case is AIAA-2018-1101, https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2018-1101. For the 3D Hemisphere Cylinder, a set of Fortran programs are provided to create both unstructured and structured grids. These grids have cylinder diameter unity. This also corresponds with the experiment (in inches).

hc_release_040224.tar.gz

The gzipped tar file above includes both a grid generation program as well as a coarsening program, with sample inputs and readme file.

Recommended input files for large-size grids are:

input.nml_hc_tetra_stt for Tetrahedral grids <- updated on 04/30/2018
input.nml_hc_strct_stt for Structured grids <- updated on 04/30/2018

(Note: input files need to be renamed as input.nml when used. Set generate_su2grid_file = T to write .su2 file.)

Recommended input files for coarsening the grids (to be used with the coarsening program) are:

input_coarsen.nml_hc_tetra_stt for Tetrahedral grids <- updated on 04/30/2018
input_coarsen.nml_hc_strct_stt for Structured grids <- updated on 04/30/2018

(Note: input files need to be renamed as input_coarsen.nml when used. Set generate_su2grid_file = T to write .su2 file.)
