In this study, a multi-block structured grid deformation code based on a hybrid of a transfinite interpolation algorithm and spring analogy was developed. The configuration was modeled by a Bezier surface. A combination of the spring analogy for block vertices and the transfinite interpolation for interior grid points helps to increase the robustness and makes it suitable for distributed computing. An elliptic smoothing operator was applied to the block faces with sub-faces in order to maintain the grid smoothness and skewness. The capability of this code was demonstrated on a range of simple and complex configurations including an airfoil and a wing-body configuration.

Deforming mesh should be used when bodies are deforming or moving relative to each other due to the presence of aerodynamic forces and moments. Also, the flow solver for such a flow problem should satisfy the geometric conservation law to ensure the accuracy of the solutions. In this paper, a RANS(Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes) solver including automatic mesh capability using TFI(Transfinite Interpolation) method and GCL is developed and applied to flows induced by oscillating wings with given frequencies. The computations are performed both on deforming meshes and on rigid meshes. The computational results are compared with experimental data, which shows a good agreement.
