This special panel discussion was a feature of CHT'01,
involving several well-known workers in the field:
Rod Douglass, Graham Carey, David R. White, Glen Hansen, Yannis Kallinderis
and Nigel P. Weatherill
During his presentation, Rod Douglass gave the following references to additional informaton
on grid generation:
Context: As computational heat transfer matures, the problems being solved are
increasingly
complex. The complexity may, for example, revolve around geometric details in three dimensions,
the physical properties of the materials to be simulated, or the physical phenomena of the simulation
such as reacting flows, thermal radiation, turbulence, or combinations thereof. From a grid
generation perspective, these complexities lead to issues such as generating computational grids
based on a faithful adherence to physical material boundaries which may be obtained directly from
CAD drawings, resolving three dimensional engineering details such as bolts or screws or piping
discontinuities using structured or unstructured grids, or using grid quality measures and methods
that dynamically preserve some appropriate form of global or local numerical accuracy. One easily
is lead to the conclusion that grid generation for such problems is now much more than simply N
do-loops for N-dimensional space problems. CHT'01 is sponsoring this panel discussion to
highlight these and other issues and to provide an opportunity for dialog on the theme of grid
generation.
