Structured grid generator on parallel computers

A general purpose structured grid generator on parallel computers, which generates a large-scale structured grid efficiently, has been developed. The generator is applicable to Cartesian, cylindrical and BFC (Boundary-Fitted Curvilinear) coordinates. In case of BFC grids, there are three adaptable topologies; L-type, O-type and multi-block type, the last of which enables any combination of L- and O-grids. Internal BFC grid points can be automatically generated and smoothed by either algebraic supplemental method or partial differential equation method. The partial differential equation solver is implemented on parallel computers, because it consumes a large portion of overall execution time. Therefore, high-speed processing of large-scale grid generation can be realized by use of parallel computer. Generated grid data are capable to be adjusted to domain decomposition for parallel analysis. (author)
