Abstract

The current guidelines provided by the 3rd AIAA CFD High Lift Prediction Workshop for building unstructured meshes representing high-lift wing configurations are demonstrated and discussed. Specifically, Pointwise grid generation software is used to generate general multi-element unstructured grids about the NASA High Lift Common Research Model and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency Standard Model with and without nacelles and pylons. Several modifications to the guidelines that enhance grid quality are presented. Additionally, the user-defined parameters within Pointwise that govern the mesh generation process are reviewed in detail.
