- Although high-order methods have been used for a number of years in academia, their use in a wider industrial setting has been much more limited despite their potential in this field. This paper establishes an enabling technology to overcome a key bottleneck in the uptake of these methods: generating curvilinear boundary layer meshes for the complex geometries that are used in industry. The technique has enabled the first wall-resolved LES simulations of Formula 1 geometries at high-order (Dr. J Hoessler at McLaren Racing) and has been adopted for use in other mesh generation software (including the widely-used open-source package Gmsh).
