Construction of tetrahedral mesh for modeling of the flow around a triangular wing




An original algorithm for mesh construction on the surface of the model of a triangular wing is proposed. Generation of the tetrahedral mesh around the model is based on the surface mesh using the TetGen software. As an example of using the constructed mesh, a numerical simula-tion of the supersonic viscous gas flow around the model with realistic values of the Mach and Reynolds numbers is performed. The simulation is based on a system of quasi-gasdynamic equations.

Построение тетраэдральной расчетной сетки для моделирования обтекания треугольного крыла

Предложен оригинальный алгоритм построения расчетной сетки на поверхности модели треугольного крыла. Построение тетраэдральной расчетной сетки в пространстве вокруг модели производится на основе поверхностной сетки с помощью сеточного генератора TetGen. В качестве примера использования построенной сетки проведено численное моделирование внешнего сверхзвукового обтекания модели потоком вязкого газа при реалистичных значениях чисел Маха и Рейнольдса. Моделирование проводится на основе системы квазигазодинамических уравнений.
