Several improvements are made to overlap preservation in the automated approach to generating overset structured meshes. A loosely-coupled boundary condition (LCBC) is introduced to maintain optimal overlap for surface meshes generated from overlapping initial curves. Extension of the LCBC scheme to three-dimensional volume meshing is also presented. Test cases include various rotary wing vehicles from NASA’s Revolutionary Vertical Lift Technology (RVLT) project, and the wing-body geometry from the NASA Juncture Flow Experiment. Results demonstrate improvements in donor stencil quality from the enhanced overlap between neighboring surface and volume meshes.
