1 GEOMETRY MODELING & GRID GENERATION Dr.D.Prakash Senior Assistant Professor School of Mechanical Engineering SASTRA University, Thanjavur
2 OBJECTIVE The objectives of this discussion are to relate experiences and offer some practical tips to : 1. Modeling geometry for CFD analysis 2. Generating a grid for the CFD analysis Geometry modeling and grid generation are often the most difficult and time-intensive aspects of a CFD analysis.
3 GEOMETRY The starting point for all problems is a geometry. The geometry describes the shape of the problem to be analyzed. Can consist of volumes, faces (surfaces), edges (curves) and vertices (points).
4 GEOMETRY CREATION-APPROACH Geometries can be created top-down or bottom-up. Top-down refers to an approach where the computational domain is created by performing logical operations on primitive shapes such as cylinders, bricks, and spheres. Bottom-up refers to an approach where one first creates vertices (points), connects those to form edges (lines), connects the edges to create faces, and combines the faces to create volumes. Geometries can be created using the same pre-processor software that is used to create the grid, or created using other programs (e.g. CAD, graphics).
5 LAYOUT OF MODELING PACKAGE- GAMBIT Geometry & Grid are saved in a database file (*.dbs) The mesh is saved into a solver-dependent file (*.msh) At the end of each session Gambit automatically saves a journal file (*.jou)

8 GEOMETRY TYPES IN GAMBIT Real Geometry: entities characterized by a direct definition of their geometry example: a vertex defined by its coordinates (0,0,0) Virtual Geometry: entities characterized ONLY by an indirect definition, i.e. a reference to another entity. example: a vertex is defined as the mid-point of an edge Faceted Geometry : entities characterized ONLY by an indirect definition with respect to an underlying grid example: a vertex is defined as the corner of a mesh element

30 GRID GENERATION Why is a grid needed? The grid: Designates the cells or elements on which the flow is solved. Is a discrete representation of the geometry of the problem. Has cells grouped into boundary zones where b.c. s are applied. The grid has a significant impact on: Rate of convergence (or even lack of convergence). Solution accuracy. CPU time required. Importance of mesh quality for good solutions. Grid density. Adjacent cell length/volume ratios. Skewness. Tetvs. hex. Boundary layer mesh. Mesh refinement through adaption.
31 TYPICAL CELL SHAPES Many different cell/element and grid types are available. Choice depends on the problem and the solver capabilities. Cell or element types: CFD Workshop: Geometry Modeling & Grid Generation
32 GRID NOMENCLATURE CFD Workshop: Geometry Modeling & Grid Generation Terminology Cell = control volume into which domain is broken up. Node = grid point. Cell center= centerof a cell. Edge = boundary of a face. Face = boundary of a cell. Zone = grouping of nodes, faces, and cells: Wall boundary zone. Fluid cell zone. Domain = group of node, face and cell zones.
33 STRUCTURED GRID CFD Workshop: Geometry Modeling & Grid Generation Single-block, structured grid. Connectivity with the neighbouring vertices are same Grid lines must pass all through domain. Obviously can t be used for very complicated geometries. Algebraic method- linear interpolation Partial differentiation approach- elliptic pde
34 STRUCTURED GRID TYPES CFD Workshop: Geometry Modeling & Grid Generation
35 UNSTRUCTURED GRID CFD Workshop: Geometry Modeling & Grid Generation Unstructured grid. The cells are arranged in an arbitrary fashion. No i,j,kgrid index, no constraints on cell layout. There is some memory and CPU overhead for unstructured referencing. Triangulation method Delaunay triangulation method Circumcircle test is important
36 HYBRID GRID CFD Workshop: Geometry Modeling & Grid Generation Hybrid grid. Use the most appropriate cell type in any combination. Triangles and quadrilaterals in 2D. Tetrahedra, prisms and pyramids in 3D. Can be non-conformal: grids lines don t need to match at block boundaries
37 MESH GENERATION PROCESS CFD Workshop: Geometry Modeling & Grid Generation Create, read (or import) boundary mesh(es). 2. Check quality of boundary mesh. 3. Improve and repair boundary mesh. 4. Generate volume mesh. 5. Perform further refinement if required. 6. Inspect quality of volume mesh. 7. Remove sliver and degenerate cells. 8. Save volume mesh.
38 MESH QUALITY For the same cell count, hexahedral meshes will give more accurate solutions, especially if the grid lines are aligned with the flow. The mesh density should be high enough to capture all relevant flow features. The mesh adjacent to the wall should be fine enough to resolve the boundary layer flow. In boundary layers, quad, hex, and prism/wedge cells are preferred over tri s, tets, or pyramids. Three measures of quality: Skewness, Smoothness (change in size). Aspect ratio.
39 MESH SKEWNESS CFD Workshop: Geometry Modeling & Grid Generation Two methods for determining skewness: 1. Based on the equilateral volume: Skewness = optimal cell size cell size optimal cell size Applies only to triangles and tetrahedra. optimal (equilateral) cell circumcircle 2. Based on the deviation from a normalized equilateral angle: Skewness(for a quad) = Applies to all cell and face shapes. Always used for prisms and pyramids. θ θ 90 max min max, θ min θ max actual cell
40 EQUIANGLESKEW CFD Workshop: Geometry Modeling & Grid Generation Common measure of quality is based on equiangle skew. Definition of equiangle skew: where: θ max = largest angle in face or cell. θ min = smallest angle in face or cell. θ e = angle for equiangular face or cell. e.g., 60 for triangle, 90 for square. Range of skewness: θ θ max e 180 θe max, θ θ e θ e min 0 1 best worst θ min θ max Value of Skewness Degenerate 1 bad (sliver) 0.9 <1 Poor Fair Good Excellent > Equilateral 0
41 GRID-ASPECT RATIO CFD Workshop: Geometry Modeling & Grid Generation Change in size should be gradual (smooth). smooth change large jump in in cell size cell size Aspect ratio is ratio of longest edge length to shortest edge length. Equal to 1 (ideal) for an equilateral triangle or a square. aspect ratio = 1 high-aspect-ratio quad aspect ratio = 1 high-aspect-ratio triangle
42 ADAPTIVE GRID Solution adaption How do you ensure adequate grid resolution, when you don t necessarily know the flow features? Solution-based grid adaption! The grid can be refined or coarsened by the solver based on the developing flow: Solution values. Gradients. Along a boundary. Inside a certain region.
43 ADAPTIVE GRID Methods : Moving mesh- reposition of grid points Mesh Enrichment- Adding of grid points
44 ADAPTION EXAMPLE: FINAL GRID AND SOLUTION
45 SOURCES OF ERRORS Main sources of errors Mesh too coarse. High skewness. Large jumps in volume between adjacent cells. Large aspect ratios. Interpolation errors at nonconformal interfaces. Inappropriate boundary layer mesh. CFD Workshop: Geometry Modeling & Grid Generation
46 MESHING-TIPS CFD Workshop: Geometry Modeling & Grid Generation More cells can give higher accuracy. The downside is increased memory and CPU time. Cell counts of the order: 1E4 are relatively small problems. 1E5 are intermediate size problems. 1E6 are large. Such problems can be efficiently run using multiple CPUs, but mesh generation and post-processing may become slow. 1E7 are huge and should be avoided if possible. However, they are common in aerospace and automotive applications. 1E8 and more are department of defense style applications.
47 FINAL POINTS Design and construction of a quality grid is crucial to the success of the CFD analysis. Appropriate choice of grid type depends on: Geometric complexity. Flow field. Cell and element types supported by solver. Hybrid meshing offers the greatest flexibility. Take advantage of solution adaption.
