Adaptive Grid Refinement for ISIS-CFD
Keywords:
Numerical simulation, adaptive grids, grid refinement.
Abstract
An adaptive grid refinement method for a parallelised unstructured finite-volume code is described in the present paper. The method currently provides directional refinement for unstructured hexahedral meshes. To get a flexible and general method, the refinement criterion, the decision whether or not to refine each cell, and the actual refinement are strictly separated. Also, the refinement of cells and faces is decoupled. Results for a free-surface refinement criterion on two steady ship test cases show significant increases in accuracy and efficiency, compared to non-refined grids.
