Boundary-fitted coordinate systems for arbitrary computational regionsThe method of Smith and Wiegel was used to generate meshes for mixer lobes and subsonic inlets that are compatible with flow analysis codes requiring a boundary fitted coordinate system. Successful application of this mesh generator required development of procedures to distribute the mesh points along the boundaries, to regulate the dependence of the connecting function to the local boundary slope, to concentrate the mesh into regions of special interest, and to modify the mesh grid so that it possessed a smooth progression of cell metrics and cell volumes in all directions. The method of Smith and Wiegel when coupled with the extensions mentioned above has proven to be easy to use and control for the inlet and mixer lobe geometries investigated.
