[1996] Mr. Dan Strash of Analytical Methods, Inc. used Gridgen to generate this grid for a Navier-Stokes simulation of the flow over the horizontal and vertical tails of a Boeing 727 jet aircraft. The CFD simulation was part of a larger study of icing and its effect on the tail's aerodynamics.

Mr. Strash's study is documented in AIAA 94-0488 "Improved CFD Zonal Modeling of Leading-Edge Ice Effects for a Complete Aircraft" by D.J. Strash and J.M. Summa, AIAA 32nd Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit, January 10-13, 1994 and NASA CR 198519, "Development of Three-Dimensional Flow Code Package to Predict Performance and Stability of Aircraft With Leading Edge Ice Contamination" by D.J. Strash and J.M. Summa, September 1996.
