Automated multiblock meshing using topology templates and point cloud mapping streamlines CFD workflows. By leveraging Radial Basis Function (RBF) morphing, this new method ensures accurate topology adaptation for design variants. Case studies on turbines, volutes, and compressors highlight its efficiency, reducing manual effort while maintaining high-quality grids.
Optimizing compressor design is crucial for turbocharger efficiency. CFD-driven analysis refines aerodynamics, while structured meshing enhances accuracy. GridPro automates high-quality meshing for impellers and volutes, accelerating design iterations. By leveraging CFD and advanced meshing, engineers can achieve superior compressor performance, improving fuel economy, power output, and regulatory compliance in modern engines.

More than half a century has elapsed in designing a working scramjet-powered hypersonic vehicle. Considered harder than rocket engines, designing scramjets is a massive engineering challenge. However, newer design improvisations such as airframe integration and REST design, scramjet-powered hypersonic flights are close to becoming a reality.
Leakage flows stand out as the primary factor leading to decreased efficiency within screw compressors. Precisely capturing these leakage flows using enhanced grids plays a crucial role in achieving precise CFD predictions of their behavior and their consequential impact on the overall performance of the screw compressor.
Automated hexahedral mesher empowers engineers to effortlessly scrutinize the flow behaviour, vividly understand the change in flow with the change in clearance gap, and explicitly bring out the differences in the gerotor design variant’s performances.
GridPro’s block-aligned shock-fitted grids revolutionize hypersonic CFD simulations by aligning mesh blocks with shock contours. This approach improves accuracy and reduces computational demands, providing precise shock resolution and efficient computation for simulations of reentry capsules, reentry vehicles, rockets, and hypersonic vehicles.
