Abstract

Challenges in Computational Fluid Dynamics were aptly described in the NASA CFD Vision 2030 Study. Included in the study were challenges in mesh generation. An exact quote in the executive summary was “Mesh generation and adaptivity continue to be significant bottlenecks in the CFD workflow, and very little government investment has been targeted in these areas”. This paper discusses topics in 4 areas important to the mesh generation community that are relevant to addressing the goals of the NASA study. These mesh generation topics pose challenges to commercial software developers that seek to meet the current and future needs of their user community. The broad topics are described. Some active research and directions are presented. Through a coordinated effort of internally and externally funded research progress can be made toward meeting the goals of the NASA study.
