Popis: This paper describes a flowfield mesh generation procedure which has been developed specifically for dealing with geometrically complex and time-dependent leading edge ice accretions on airfoils. The method produces an unstructured mesh using an automatic node point generation scheme that requires minimal user input. Flowfield predictions are obtained by solving the Navier-Stokes equations on an unstructured, triangular mesh. Laminar and turbulent flowfield calculations are presented which demonstrate the new method's ability to produce suitable meshes for such computations.
