Boxer: how does it do it?
Direct integration within a fully parallel environment, of:
Level-set solid modelling kernel
Mesh generation
3D RANS flow solver and post-processing
Automated and extremely robust handling of realistic CAD
Tolerant to extremely "dirty" geometry via the native geometry kernel
Automated feature-detection by increased mesh resolution
Automated curvature enhancement
Supports on-the-fly "Boolean" combinations of separate STL parts - no need to pre-assemble a complete geometry
Periodic meshing for turbomachinery
Native and intuitive polar-meshing capability for fully periodic cases
Exact mesh matching across periodic boundaries - no sliding-interfaces required
Guaranteed and automated cell quality control
Body-conformal meshing achieved via comprehensive cell optimisation, smoothing and control
All cells meet internal quality thresholds
No post-mesh smoothing and repair required
