Abstract

 

In this work, a mesh adaptation tool is loosely coupled with a metric based error estimator and a CFD solver into a computational pipeline. The pipeline is validated using a laminar flow over a delta wing. Drag and lift coefficients are computed and compared to similar simulations from the literature. The proposed anisotropic adaptation method delivers the same accuracy with an order of magnitude fewer resources than the more commonly used isotropic mesh adaptation.
