A fast and reliable overset unstructured grids approach

Abstract

A cell-centred overset unstructured grids approach is developed. In this approach, the intergrid boundary is initially established based on the wall distance from the cell centre, and is then optimized. To accelerate the intergrid-boundary definition much more, a neighbor-toneighbor donor search algorithm based on advancing-front method is modified with the help of minimum cuboid boxes. To simplify the communications between different grid cell types and to obtain second-order spatial accuracy, a new interpolation method is constructed based on linear reconstruction, which employs only one layer of fringe cells along the intergrid boundary. For unsteady flows with relative motion, the intergrid boundary can be redefined fast and automatically. Several numerical results show that the present dynamic overset unstructured grids approach is accurate and reliable.

The Effect of Temperature on the Result of Complex Modification of IN-713C Superalloy Castings

“…Papers [8,9] suggest that the exchange reaction between the inoculant and the active alloying elements (like Al or Cr) occurs after the metal has been poured to the coated mould cavity:…”

Sintering Behavior and THz Absorption Properties of B₂O₃ Doped Ca[(Li_1/3Nb_2/3)_0.95Zr_0.15]O₃ Ceramics

“…Therefore, electrical components for the generation of THz frequencies are urgently demanded. Low-temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) multilayer technology offers good solutions for THz components since it is suitable for them to be produced in circuits with three dimensional (3D) low loss interconnects and fine-line definition besides its low production costs [2]. LTCC technology requires ceramics with low sintering temperatures to be co-fired with interlayered metals such as Cu, Au and Ag, whose melting points are1080 o C, 1060 o C and 960 o C respectively.…”
