  • Automatic curved block structure and hexahedral mesh generation for hypersonic CFD

    Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering 461 (2026)

    Authors: Claire Roche, Jérôme Breil, Simon Calderan, Thierry Hocquellet, Franck Ledoux

    Hexahedral block-structured meshes are known as difficult to generate and are usually created manually using specialized interactive software. For industrial complex geometries, this process is highly time-consuming and hinders the numerical simulation process. Currently, automatic...
  • Hexahedral Curved Block-Structured Mesh Generation for Atmospheric Re-Entry

    Numerical simulation codes in fluid mechanics fall into two main classes. The two classes correspond to the type of mesh used for simulations, structured meshes and unstructured meshes. These two types of mesh each have advantages and disadvantages. Structured hexahedral meshes are equivalent to regular grids. In this case, numerous calculation optimizations are possible, for example it...
