Three dimensional spline-generated coordinate transformations for grids around wing-body configurationsA direct algebraic method was developed and applied to generate three dimensional grids around wing-body configurations. The method used is a generalized transfinite interpolation method which generates the desired coordinate transformation using geometric data only on the boundaries of the domain of interest. The geometric data that can be specified includes not only coordinates on the boundaries but also out-of-surface parametric derivatives that give a very precise control over the transformation in the vicinity of the surface. In addition to this, the method gives good control over the stretching of the mesh between different boundaries.
