The files in this archive represent the initial medium level grid (for Configuration 8) from the University of 
Wyoming for the first High Lift Prediction Workshop.  The grid was generated in VGrid 4.1 using the 
Configuration 8 geometry following the HLPW meshing guidelines for node based solvers at:

http://hiliftpw.larc.nasa.gov/Workshop1/GriddingGuidelinesHiLiftPW1-11JUN09.pdf

The grid naming convention, 41A, reflects that this is the first family of grids using VGrid 4.1 and was 
chosen simply as a convenience.  The final submitted grids may be re-named at some future point if required 
by the workshop committee.

All grids are pure tetrahedral elements, with layers of thin tetrahedras in the boundary layer regions and 
some an-isotropic stretching in the span-wise direction.



Grid is given in 2 different formats:

UWYO-Grid41A-8.tgz    medium grid (tarred, gzipped directory of files) in VGRID format
HLPW_WB-41A-8.cgns.gz medium grid (gzipped) in CGNS format (see www.cgns.org)

(file conversion from VGRID to CGNS format was done by C. Rumsey... c.l.rumsey@nasa.gov)


The grid size is as follows:

Mesh 41A-8 (Config 8, Medium)
Total Nodes | Total Tetras | Boundary Nodes | Nodes in Visc Layers
11524779    |   67783972   |     381397     |      9160084

Note: A description of VGRID formats is provided in the file VGRID_FILE_FORMATS.txt
