Abstract

An unstructured flow solver with adaptive mesh refinement and multigrid acceleration is developed to efficiently compute two-dimensional inviscid and viscous steady flows about complex configurations. High resolution is achieved by using the upwind scheme coupled with adaptive mesh refinement. An aspect-ratio adaptive multigrid method is developed and applied to effectively accelerate the solution convergence of the explicit time-marching in the near wall regions with high aspect mesh ratios. Numerical examples are presented for configurations and conditions ranging from transonic to low speed flows to demonstrate accuracy, speed, and robustness of the method.
