Application of a self-adaptive grid method to complex flowsA directional-split modular user-friendly grid-point distribution code is applied to several test problems. Grid-point spacing is determined by user-specified constants denoting maximum and minimum grid spacings and relating the relative influence of smoothness and orthogonality. Estimates of truncation error, in terms of flowfield gradients and/or geometric features, are used to determine the point distribution.
