RANS-based flow solution computation on these automatically generated structured overset meshes are investigated. Comparisons are performed with flow solutions obtained on manually generated best-practice meshes of equivalent resolution. Four test cases are presented: the Juncture Flow Experiment, two concept vehicles from NASA's Revolutionary Veritcal Lift Technology (RVLT) project, and a ducted propeller. Queries into grid composition, accuracy, convergence, and computational efficiency are examined. 收起
