Abstract
An automatic agglomeration methodology to generate coarse grids for 3D flow solutions on anisotropic unstructured grids has been introduced in this paper. The algorithm combines isotropic octree based coarsening and anisotropic directional agglomeration to yield a desired coarsening ratio and high quality of coarse grids, which developed for cell-centered multigrid applications. This coarsening strategy developed is presented on an unstructured grid over 3D ONERA M6 wing. It is shown that the present method provides suitable coarsening ratio and well defined aspect ratio cells at all coarse grid levels.
