bareHULL.3D

This is a structured 2 dimensional O-grid of Eppler E387 wing section with blunt trailing edge which is ready to use with any OpenFOAM version for benchmarking and testing at low-Reynolds.

The structured O-grid has been constructed for Re 3,50e05 and below and suitable for low-Re turbulence models without wall functions around this Reynolds number with yPlus<1 almost everywhere. Tested in OpenFOAM 3.0.1 with various fully turbulent and transitional models.
