Extend validation and verification of the DLR TAU-code’s predictive capabilities
for a ‘new’ 3D high lift test case
Benchmark hybrid unstructured grid generation approaches, namely
CENTAUR/TAU vs. SOLAR/TAU for a 3D high lift configuration
- consideration of gridding guidelines for high lift cases
- check prism-dominant vs. hex-dominant near wall grid topologies
- grid refinement study for 3D configuration
Check/improve best practice approaches for complex high lift configurations
- turbulence model performance
- convergence start-up procedure
- efficiency aspects, simplifications (e.g. b.t.e. resolution)
Focus on CENTAUR-TAU and case 1
DLR motivation for workshop participation

Grid generation approach – HiLiftPW-special features / lessons learned
B.t.e. resolution requires CAD-repatching on t.e. to account for specif. resolution
(cut, reorganize and join in 50 spanwise section)
Parametric Source Control in order to better
- introduce sectionwise requirements along span
- control wall normal stretching of prisms and surface resolution requirements
- to achieve smooth cell growth distribution
- automated transfer to different grid levels
- allow for handling of multiple (~2.000+) single grid sources
DLR fine grid problem using CENTAUR:
surface and near wall areas successfully resolved with prisms
outer prism layer characterized by large cell (surface) aspect ratios
failure to connect with tets due to cell AR and requirement for constant volume ratio
automatic ability to locally adjust number of prisms, spanwise anisotropy and
surface resolution
