AFLR3 AIM Overview
A module in the Computational Aircraft Prototype Syntheses (CAPS) has been developed to interact with the unstructured, volumetric grid generator AFLR3 [1] [2].
The AFLR3 AIM provides the CAPS users with the ability to generate "unstructured tetrahedral element grids" using an "Advancing-Front/Local-Reconnection (AFLR) procedure." Additionally, an "Advancing-Normal Boundary-Layer (ANBL) procedure" may be used "to generate a tetrahedral/pentahedral/hexahedral BL grid adjacent to" specified surfaces.
An outline of the AIM's inputs and outputs are provided in AIM Inputs and AIM Outputs, respectively. The complete AFLR documentation is available at the SimCenter.
