GridPro

Flexibility in handling complex geometries.GridPro’s efficient blocking techniques, coupled with semi-automatic tools, have made structured meshing of intricate geometries a practical reality.
By leveraging advanced algorithms such as crossfields and medial axis, along with innovative tools like nesting, GridPro simplifies the process of dividing complex domains into structured blocks.

As we explore Density-Based Split, in this tutorial, a powerful feature in GridPro that accelerates grid convergence by refining high-curvature regions without altering overall density distribution. Watch as we apply this tool to improve mesh convergence speed for the New Glenn rocket and achieve smoother grids in fewer sweeps.

The meshes for scramjet injector needs to capture the detailed geometry of the fuel injector along with resolving key flow physics such as, fuel-air mixing and turbulence.
GridPro's multi-scale meshing technique and local refinement algorithms captures intricate fuel injector features with fine grids while restraining mesh refinement to the fuel-air mixing zone, ensuring computational efficiency without compromising accuracy in critical flow regions.

🚀Fin Deflection Studies

Fin deflection studies in rockets and missiles analyze aerodynamic forces on control surfaces, optimizing stability, maneuverability, and flight performance, crucial for precision guidance and trajectory control in varying environmental conditions.
GridPro's fluidic blocks allow easy rotation around the fin, enabling reuse of the same blocking structure for various fin deflections.

Aerodynamic Analysis - Spiked Blunt Body

In spiked blunt body simulations, flow separation occurs behind the blunt base, creating turbulent mixing and recirculation zones. These regions affect drag, heat transfer, and shock interactions, influencing overall aerodynamic performance.
GridPro grids provide high-quality mesh refinement around spiked blunt bodies, accurately capturing turbulent mixing, recirculation zones, and flow separation. Their adaptive structure resolves shear layers and vortex dynamics, enhancing aero-thermal predictions.

A mesh for a detonation engine needs to capture the multiple injection ports in the injection plate.
GridPro's Hole Meshing algorithm automatically builds blocks around circular or elliptic holes and pipe surfaces, connecting them for regular patterns like circular, rectangular, and square arrangements.

Effortless Blocking for Complex Micro Turbojet Engine

GridPro’s Express-blade and Hole meshing algorithm, have made structured meshing of intricate geometries comparable to unstructured meshes in speed.
By leveraging advanced algorithms such as crossfields and medial axis, along with innovative tools like nesting, GridPro simplifies the process of dividing complex domains into structured blocks.

Meshing the geometric singularity points in supersonic missiles is a challenge, especially the missile nose and the corner points in control surfaces.

With GridPro’s smart blocking options geometric singularities like the missile nose are handled effectively without compromising the mesh quality nor propagating the fineness to the farfield.

In this video, we continue our series on meshing ice accretion features using GridPro. Learn how to refine airfoil topology for better icing feature capture and enhance mesh quality with Enrichment and Internal Surfaces.
