Improvements to the LAURA Mesh Adaptation Algorithm
Abstract
This paper describes recent improvements to the LAURA code that removes the requirementof unbroken body-normal lines when using the automated mesh adaptation algorithm inLAURA responsible for mesh alignment with shock and adjusting near-wall mesh spacing. Fornon-simple geometry, restricting block topologies such that blocks span the domain from thesurface wall boundaries to domain inflow boundary can be difficult or impossible. Removing thisrequirement enables novel block topologies that simplify the meshing workflow for LAURA users.The new adaptation algorithm implementation in LAURA is described and several examples ofthe adaptation are presented to demonstrate the efficacy of the adaptation algorithm.
