Abstract

This paper presents a set of parallel procedures for anisotropic mesh adaptation accounting for mixed element types used in boundary layer meshes, i.e., the current procedures operate in parallel on distributed boundary layer meshes. The procedures accept anisotropic mesh metric field as an input for the desired mesh size field and apply local mesh modifications to adapt the mesh to match/satisfy the specified mesh size field. The procedures fully account for the parametric geometry of curved domains and maintain the semi-structured nature of the boundary layer elements. The effectiveness of the procedures is demonstrated on three viscous flow examples that include the ONERA M6 wing, a heat transfer manifold, and a scramjet engine.
