Sphere and Two Blades with Merging Wakes and a Symmetry Plane

  • (a) Input Surface
  • (b) cdfm: 0; #tets: 57K
  • (c) cdfm: 0.2; #tets: 58K
  • (d) cdfm: 0.6; #tets: 129K
  • (e) cdfm: 0.8; #tets: 854K
  • (f) cdfm: 0.9; #tets: 7.68M

Cuts of tetrahedral grids of a sphere generated for varied cdfm ∈ [0, 1]. Blue corresponds to larger values of the distribution function. Red corresponds to smaller values
of the distribution function.





  • (a) Input Surface
  • (b) Distribution function on the boundary
  • (c) cdfm: 0; #tets: 806K
  • (d) cdfm: 0.1; #tets: 1.41M
  • (e) cdfm: 0.2; #tets: 4.97M
  • (f) cdfm: 0.3; #tets: 16.54M

Cuts of tetrahedral grids of two blades with merging wakes and a symmetry plane enclosed in an outer boundary generated for varied cdfm ∈ [0, 1] (shown in (c)-(f)).
The input surface is depicted in (a)-(b). The wake region is modeled as an embedded/ transparent delete surface.





  • Sphere histogram.png

Element angle distribution (in 5-deg increments) of grids of sphere, for varied cdfm.
The dihedral angle extrema and the element count are reported for each grid.



  • Blades histogram.png

Element angle distribution (in 5-deg increments) of grids of two blades with
merging wakes and a symmetry plane enclosed in an outer boundary, for varied cdfm.
The dihedral angle extrema and the element count are reported for each grid.

Evaluation results on unstructured grid generation. CDT3D is compared with state-of-the-art technology AFLR v16.9.19 [132]. CDT3D’s runs are performed with 1 and 12 hardware cores. AFLR is a sequential code. Table 17 lists the parameters of the evaluation. The sliver elements have a dihedral angle smaller than 2◦ or larger than 178◦. Initial grid includes Delaunay tetrahedralization and Boundary Recovery. The I/O time is not included. The experiments performed on a DELL workstation with Linux Ubuntu 12.10, 12 cores Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5690@3.47 GHz, and 96 GB RAM.
