AIAA CFD Drag Prediction Workshop Applied Aerodynamics Conference

The document provides guidelines for generating baseline grids for computational fluid dynamics simulations. It outlines recommendations for surface spacing on airfoils, wings, and fuselages. It also recommends boundary layer resolution with a y+ of 1 and stretching ratio of less than 1.25. Miscellaneous guidelines include placing the farfield boundary at 50 chord lengths from the geometry and using a total of around 3 million grid points. Baseline grids can use multiblock, overset, or unstructured tetrahedral meshing approaches.
