Description:
The present use of locally refined Cartesian grids to solve transonic flow problems about three-dimensional aircraft configurations obviates surface-conforming grid generation through an embedding of surface-geometry paneling in the grid. Accurate resolution of flow close to the boundary, and in regions with strong velocity gradients, is achieved via hierarchical local refinement which subdivides a given grid cell into eight cells. Fast and reliable convergence is obtained by combining several preconditioners and damping strategies. Methods are suggested for preclusion of global convergence problems.
