Hypersonic Scoops

GridPro Version 10.1 Released

GridPro meshes enable fast, efficient, and precise hypersonic scoop computations for 3D thermal and fluid analysis.

Structured meshing in Hypersonic Scoop

Grid lines can be aligned with the flow direction, enabling a more efficient resolution of shock waves, boundary layers, and other critical features.
Better control over grid refinement, enabling more accurate representation of the complex flow physics.
Facilitate easy adaptation to changes in the hypersonic scoop’s geometry or design parameters, enabling efficient exploration of different design configurations.
Maintaining orthogonality of grid lines benefits hypersonic flows by promoting numerical stability, accuracy, and robustness in CFD simulations through reduced interpolation errors.
The structured grid layout helps maintain stability, particularly in regions with strong shocks and flow gradients typical of hypersonic flows.

Flexible, loose topology facilitates easy accommodation to changes in the geometry or design parameters.

Robust boundary layer clustering enforce cell orthogonality, ensuring solver stability and accuracy.

Local refinement tools like enrichment, nesting, provide better control over grid refinement.

Enrichment – for local refinement of flow physics such as shock, flow separation, wakes, shear layer, etc.
Nesting – Another tool for local refinement of prominent flow features such as shock, flow separation, wakes, shear layer.
BL clustering – for fully resolving the boundary layer region adjacent to the wall for viscous simulations.
Single topology – Single topology of GridPro is flexible to accommodate multiple geometric variants.
