Hi all

I´d like to figure out what are the main differencies between meshing using quads or triangles (in 2D) / tetrahedres (in 3D), for airfoils.

How my choice would influence my results ? CPU time, quality, boundary layer computations...Can anybody please give me some explainations ?

Thanks

JC
