AeroCFD Lab 2014

The document provides instructions for importing an STL file into Harpoon CFD software, setting up the mesh resolution and boundary layers, and exporting the mesh as a Fluent file. Key steps include importing the STL file into a new Harpoon project folder, adjusting the far field and surface cell size settings to generate the mesh, checking that the boundary layer has three layers on the fuselage, and exporting the completed surface and volume mesh as a Fluent file.
