GRID GENERATION 1. 2. Accuracy Of Results In CFD Computation Greatly Depends On Type Of Grid.

Rectangular Grids Is Not Suitable For Irregular Geometry.

3. Sometime Non-Uniform Mesh Is Required To Reduce Computation Time As Well As Better Capture Of Flow Phenomena. 4. Grid Can Be Structured Or Unstructured.
