Unstructured Cartesian grid for the flow past a launch vehicle was generated based on Octree data structure.The method is to subdivide recursively the root Cartesian cells as the cell near the body surface.The projection method was applied near the body surface to make the grid bodyfitted.The feature of the method is that the body geometry can be provided by the surface triangulation of individural components rather than that of the whole configuration.The resulating geometry is the union of them.This approach greatly simplifies the work of the computation prepared by the user.Jameson's finite volume method is then extended to such grid to solve the Euler equations.The sample computation shows the low cost of the CPU time for grid generation,and the good convergence level reached for flow computation due to the good quality of the computational grid.
