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.

(c) cdfm: 0; #tets: 806K
(d) cdfm: 0.1; #tets: 1.41M

(e) cdfm: 0.2; #tets: 4.97M

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.

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.
