DYNAMIC GRID REFINEMENT USING AN OBJECT-ORIENTED APPROACH

摘要

Object-oriented techniques are extremely well suited to the solution of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) problems. Not only is the object paradigm a much more natural and comfortable system to work in, but it is also a much more powerful tool than procedural methods in the hands of the experienced engineer and scientist. This paper demonstrates the object-oriented implementation of a dynamic grid refinement routine in which the cells are refined in runtime in the areas of highest gradients. The implementation of grid refinement is known to be a very complex task when procedural languages are used, but relatively straight forward in the object-oriented paradigm.
