GRIDS

5th AIAA CFD High Lift Prediction Workshop

Note: the terms "Mesh" and "Grid" are used interchangeably throughout the HLPW webpages. Both refer to the same thing.

Meshing Guidelines for self-generated meshes:

We have decided to forgo specific recommendations for meshing in HLPW-5. The reason for this is that the workshop includes many different methodologies, each of which has very different meshing requirements. Therefore, each TFG is taking the responsibility for determining its own "best practices" for creating meshes and families of meshes.

For those participants performing fixed-grid RANS, the meshing guidelines from past workshops can provide some guidance if needed. See: https://hiliftpw.larc.nasa.gov/Workshop3/GriddingGuidelines-HiLiftPW3-v10.pdf and https://hiliftpw.larc.nasa.gov/Workshop4/Mesh-Generation-Guidelines-V11-3-Final.pdf.

To download available meshes for HLPW-5:

• CASE 1 GRIDS DOWNLOAD PAGE
• CASE 2 GRIDS DOWNLOAD PAGE
• CASE 3 GRIDS DOWNLOAD PAGE
• The meshes are constructed from the geometry files provided on the Geometry Files page.
• If you modify the provided meshes or create your own meshes, they must be made available to the HLPW committee. If possible, meshes should be supplied in full-scale inches (the units of the original geometry files).
• Disclaimer: The grids available for download may or may not be appropriate for your solver, and may or may not be of sufficient density and quality to yield accurate results. You must judge for yourself.

To upload self-generated meshes:

• Self-generated meshes should be shared with the HLPW-5 committee and other participants.
• Please arrange file transfer upload of your meshes with the page curator or with your TFG leader, so that they (your meshes) can be publicly posted.

Please check periodically for updates, and/or get on the email distribution list by request to hiliftpw@gmail.com to be notified directly of any updates/changes.
