Abstract:

The Euler and Navier-Stokes flow solvers of computational fluid dynamics generate so much output data that one needs interactive computer graphics to fully and quickly digest the results. Multi-block solutions can be even more difficult to interpret due to the patching required at the block abutments. Fortunately, NASA Ames developed an excellent graphics post-processor of CFD solutions, PLOT3D, meeting the requirements of multi-block solutions. Thus, all that is required to inspect multi-block flow solutions when one has PLOT3D and a suitable workstation is to convert the output from the CFD solver to match the input requirements of PLOT3D. MERC2PLOT3D converts MERCURY restart files into the proper input data for PLOT3D. Keywords Batch processing Gray computers Fortran.
