Abstract: Influence of mesh adaptation on getting accurate aerodynamic characteristics of airflow over wing profiles in CFD code FlowVision is investigated. Algorithm of adaptation criteria for accurate and fast solving aerodynamic problems is created on basis of this investigation. Conclusions done in this paper is possible to apply for solving different aerodynamic tasks more complex then airfoils.

Keywords: computational fluid dynamics, computational grid, adaptation to solution, airfoil, aerodynamic characteristics.
