Generation of Three Dimensional Body Fitted Coordinates Using Hyperbolic Partial Differential Equations.
Joseph Leo Steger · 1984
An efficient numerical mesh generation scheme capable of creating orthogonal or nearly orthogonal grids about moderately complex three dimensional configurations is described. The mesh is obtained by marching outward from a user specified grid on the body surface. Using spherical grid topology, grids have been generated about full span rectangular wings and a simplified space shuttle orbiter.
