Grid generation for 3D turbomachinery configurationsA numerical grid generation algorithm associated with the flow field about turbomachinery geometries is presented. Graphical user interface is developed with the FORMS Library to create an interactive, user-friendly working environment. This customized algorithm reduces the man-hours required to generate a grid associated with turbomachinery geometry, as compared to those required by general-purpose grid generation softwares. Bezier curves are utilized both interactively and automatically to accomplish grid line smoothness and orthogonality. Graphical user interactions are provided in the algorithm and allow the user to design and manipulate the grid lines with a mouse.
