This page links to downloadable grids (and related information) for HLPW-5.
All grids are made publicly available by the originators of the grids.
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.
Please contact the grid originators if you have any questions about the grids.
Most of the provided grids are "free air" (half-model with symmetry plane in free air).
They are given a Mesh Series designation X.a.YY. The X indicates the test case number (1, 2, or 3).
The a indicates the grid type (R=fixed-grid RANS, A=ADAPT, H=High-Order, L=HRLES, W=WMLES).
The YY is used to order the meshes within a category; these are
simply numbers starting at 01 and incrementing up.
If any grid series gets superseded by a revision, this will be designated by a (-) in its
designation. For example, version 2 would be designated by (2).
In-tunnel grids are indicated with "T" designation at the end.
Note that the mesh sequences have been given somewhat arbitrary labels by their creators regarding their size:
sometimes by sequential letter (A, B, C,...), sometimes by increasing number, sometimes by name (e.g., Coarse, Fine),
and sometimes by XC,C,M,F. These are all
arbitrary designations with little practical meaning, and there is no consistency between different mesh
series. Mesh size comparisons should instead be gauged by looking at the README files.
IMPORTANT: Please double-check the BCs in any grid that you download. We have noticed
small mistakes/typos/inconsistencies occasionally.
WARNING: Some participants have reported possible issues with CGNS files translated
from AFLR3.
Please make sure that the boundary patches have the correct BCs associated with them!
