Abstract

Grid generation plays an important role in the development of efficient numerical techniques for solving complex flows. Therefore, the present work develops a method for bidimensional blocks structured grid generation for geometries such as the trachea and bronchial tubes. A set of 55 blocks completes the geometry, whose contours are defined by cubic splines. Besides, this technique build on early ones because of its simplicity and efficiency in terms of very complex geometry grid generation.
