Applied Modeling & Simulation Seminar Series
May 15, 2012, 1:00 PM PDTImprovements to the Pegasus5 Overset CFD Software
Building N258, Auditorium (Rm 127)
Speaker: Dr. Stuart E. Rogers, NASA Ames
This talk will present recent and on-going improvements to the pegasus5 overset software. The biggest change to the code is the addition of a cell-centered overset-grid capability. The details of the implementation of this capability will be presented together with verification and testing of overset grid generated for the DPLR CFD code.
