Abstract
In this study, a multi-block structured grid deformation code based on a hybrid of transfinite interpolation algorithm and spring analogy has been developed. The combination of spring analogy for block vertices and transfinite interpolation for interior grid points helps to increase the robustness and makes it suitable for distributed computing. Elliptic smoothing operator is applied to the block faces with sub-faces to maintain the grid’s smoothness and skewness. The capability of the developed code is demonstrated on a range of simple and complex configuration such as airfoil and wing body configuration.
