Step 2: Mesh Geometry in GAMBIT

Mesh Faces

We'll mesh each of the 3 faces separately to get our final mesh. Before we mesh a face, we need to define the point distribution for each of the edges that form the face i.e. we first have to mesh the edges. We'll select the mesh stretching parameters and number of divisions for each edge based on three criteria:

Split Edges

Next, we will split the top and bottom edges of the airfoil into two edges so that we have better control of the mesh point distribution. Figure of the splitting edges is shown below.
