Mesh Sizing

NOTE: Available mesh sizing parameters differ between mesh generators.

Structure for the mesh sizing tuple = ("CAPS Mesh Name", "Value"). "CAPS Mesh Name" defines the capsMesh on which the sizing information should be applied. The "Value" can either be a JSON String dictionary (see Section JSON String Dictionary) or a single string keyword string (see Section Single Value String)

JSON String Dictionary

If "Value" is a JSON string dictionary (e.g. "Value" = {"edgeDistribution": "Even", "numEdgePoints": 100}) the following keywords ( = default values) may be used:

• bcType = (no default)
  Sets the AFLR_GBC attribute on faces. Options:
  
  • Farfield or Freestream or FARFIELD_UG3_GBC
    Farfield surface same as a standard surface except w/AFLR4
  • Viscous or -STD_UG3_GBC
    Standard BL generating surface
  • Inviscid or STD_UG3_GBC
    Standard surface
  • Symmetry or BL_INT_UG3_GBC or BoundaryLayerIntersect
    Symmetry or standard surface that intersects BL region
  • TRANSP_SRC_UG3_GBC
    Embedded/transparent surface converted to source nodes by AFLR
  • TRANSP_BL_INT_UG3_GBC
    Embedded/transparent surface that intersects BL region
  • TRANSP_UG3_GBC
    Embedded/transparent surface
  • -TRANSP_UG3_GBC
    Embedded/transparent BL generating surface
  • TRANSP_INTRNL_UG3_GBC
    Embedded/transparent surface converted to internal faces by AFLR
  • FIXED_BL_INT_UG3_GBC
    Fixed surface with BL region that intersects BL region

• bcType = (no default)
  Sets the AFLR_GBC attribute on faces. Options:
  
  • Farfield or Freestream or FARFIELD_UG3_GBC
    Farfield surface same as a standard surface except w/AFLR4
  • Viscous or -STD_UG3_GBC
    Standard BL generating surface
  • Inviscid or STD_UG3_GBC
    Standard surface
  • Symmetry or BoundaryLayerIntersect or BL_INT_UG3_GBC
    Standard surface that intersects BL region
  • TRANSP_SRC_UG3_GBC
    Embedded/transparent surface converted to source nodes by AFLR
  • TRANSP_BL_INT_UG3_GBC
    Embedded/transparent surface that intersects BL region
  • TRANSP_UG3_GBC
    Embedded/transparent surface
  • -TRANSP_UG3_GBC
    Embedded/transparent BL generating surface
  • TRANSP_INTRNL_UG3_GBC
    Embedded/transparent surface converted to internal faces by AFLR
  • FIXED_BL_INT_UG3_GBC
    Fixed surface with BL region that intersects BL region

• scaleFactor = (no default)
  scaleFactor sets the AFLR4_Scale_Factor attribute on faces/edges.
  
  See AFLR4_Scale_Factor in AIM Attributes for additional details.

• edgeWeight = (no default) [Range 0 to 1]
  edgeWeight sets the AFLR4_Edge_Refinement_Weight attribute on faces.
  
  See AFLR4_Edge_Refinement_Weight in AIM Attributes for additional details.

Single Value String

If "Value" is a single string, the following options maybe used:

• (NONE Currently)
