Hi all -

Below are pictures of a grid I created for an external aerodynamics simulation at low Reynolds numbers.











Here are the mesh files:

I'm looking for general suggestions into grid improvements. All of the elements are at least 90% in quality. Nearly all the elements have less than a four degree deviation from perfect orthogonality. The grid is well-resolved - I've validated it against results.

However, the quality is not as high as I would like it. When I use the smoother, although many elements improve in quality, many others (e.g., the ones in the farfield) see a huge decrease in quality.

Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance!
