Generation of Computational Mesh for CFPD Simulations

Abstract

Generation of a quality mesh is of extreme importance for obtaining reliable computational solutions. A good quality mesh improves numerical stability, and increases the likelihood of attaining a reliable solution. A mesh can be viewed as a number of smaller meshes or grid cells that overlays the entire domain geometry. In general the set of fundamental mathematical equations that represent the flow physics are applied to each cell. These equations, which calculate the changes in each cell within the domain, are subsequently solved to yield the corresponding discrete values of the flow-field variables such as the velocity, pressure, and temperature.
