ASE 4433/6433 Homework Assignment #5 Due Date: March 16, 2009 1.

Assume we have a one-dimensional transformation of the form = (x) with the inverse transformation x=x(). The transformation is governed by the onedimensional grid generation equation d 2 = P. dx 2 Show (in detail) that the transformed equation is given by dx d 2x = P . 2 d d 2. The two-dimensional Poisson grid generation equation is given by
3

(r + r ) 2 r + (r + r ) = 0
2 2 = x + y

= x x + y y = x2 + y2
Derive expressions for and that will reproduce a given grid. Hint: This is the socalled fixed grid method. 3. The hyperbolic grid generation equations are formulated in terms of the orthogonality condition and the cell area A
x ~ ~ x y x y = A y x x + y y = 0 ~ x ~ y x ~ y + ~ x y ~ x y 0 ~ ~ y = A + A x

Derive an alternative formulation using the marching distance instead of the cell area, i.e., x x + y y = 0 ?. 2 2 ds 2 = x + y + x2 + y2 = 2

4. Write a short summary of the book chapter: S. Park and K. Lee, A New Approach for Automated Multiblock Decomposition for Grid Generation: A Hypercube++ Approach, Handbook of Grid Generation, pp 10-1 10-22, J. Thompson, B. Soni, and N. Weatherill, eds., CRC Press, 1998.
