Generation of three-dimensional body-fitted grids by solving hyperbolic and parabolic partial differential equationsHyperbolic grid generation procedures are described which have been used in external flow simulations about complex configurations. For many practical applications a single well-ordered (i.e., structured) grid can be used to mesh an entire configuration, in other problems, composite or unstructured grid procedures are needed. Although the hyperbolic partial differential equation grid generation procedure has mainly been utilized to generate structured grids, extension of the procedure to semiunstructured grids is briefly described. Extensions of the methodology are also described using two-dimensional equations.
