A general multiblock Euler code for propulsion integration. Volume 2: User guide for BCON, pre-processor for grid generation and GMBE

Abstract

The BCON is a menu-driven graphics interface program whose input consists of strings or arrays of points generated from a computer aided design (CAD) tool or any other surface geometry source. The user needs to design the block topology and prepare the surface geometry definition and surface grids separately. The BCON generates input files that contain the block definitions and the block relationships required for generating a multiblock volume grid with the EAGLE grid generation package. The BCON also generates the block boundary conditions file which is used along with the block relationship file as input for the general multiblock Euler (GMBE) code (GMBE, volumes 1 and 3).
