An automatic grid generator was developed to modify the surface shape and computational mesh automatically for a supersonic transport configuration as the leading- and trailing-edge flaps were deflected. In the design of high-lift devices with CFD technology, a large number of geometries with different combination of design parameters are required for parametric study or shape optimization to improve aerodynamic performance. Hence, it is necessary to generate the shape and grid of each case. With the automatic tool, time cost for shape modification and grid generation is dramatically reduced. In this AutoFlap-GG, the unique script language Glyph included in the grid generation software, Gridgen, is used to automate the process of shape modification and grid generation. In this report, the automatic process of shape modification and grid generation are described, and examples of the generated grid and computational result are presented.
