ANSYS Fluent Mosaic Meshing for CFD Simulations

Presentation

Abstract

Transitioning between varying types of mesh elements in complex geometries and flow regimes has long been a major simulation challenge. ANSYS is addressing this challenge with the introduction of Mosaic technology that automatically connects different types of meshes with general polyhedral elements. The initial implementation of this technology maintains layered poly-prism elements in the boundary layers, fills the bulk region with computationally-efficient and highly-accurate octree hexahedral elements, and conformally connects these two meshes with high-quality polyhedral elements. The resulting mesh enables faster CFD simulation with greater solution accuracy while using less RAM.

Seminar Participation

Attending In Person

For select seminars, you may wish to attend in-person if you are in the vicinity of NASA Ames Research Center. These AMS seminars are held in Building N258 in Room 127, just off the front lobby. Sessions available to attend in-person will be indicated in the announcement information. In-person participants without NASA badges will need a valid visitor badge (US citizenship or permanent residency is required) to enter the facility.
