MESH ADAPTATION FOR RANS TFG

5th AIAA CFD High Lift Prediction Workshop

The ADAPT Technology Focus Group (TFG) facilitates the development and use of automated mesh adaptation techniques and strategies. Although primarily concerned with Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes (RANS), it is also open to exploring adaptive strategies for scale-resolving simulations. ADAPT TFG objectives include producing grid-converged verified solutions for a given model and understanding how these verified solutions compare to experimental data.

The following lists the active membership for this Technology Focus Group (TFG). The assigned Participant ID (PID) numbers are given in red. (The PIDs may not be contiguous or in numerical order, as teams may drop out or be added.) Please contact hiliftpw@gmail.com if you have a correction.

Key Questions

1. Can adaptive mesh convergence be achieved on the CRM-HL Wing-Body to verify implementations?
2. Can adaptive mesh refinement identify consistent trends due to increasing geometric complexity across the angle of attack range?
3. Can adaptive mesh refinement resolve Reynolds number trends in integrated forces, moment, and separation patterns across the angle of attack range?
4. Where can mesh adapted RANS contribute to prediction of high-lift flow physics?
