We answer the questions of the high-order technology focus group (HO-TFG) about the mesh generation for the high-lift common research model of the 4-th high-lift prediction workshop. The HO-TFG seeks answers about the feasibility of generating meshes for complex geometries, and how to measure the quality of different aspects of the mesh. To answer these questions, we first generate several curved meshes and then, we analyze different aspects of the curved mesh and perform a visual inspection. The main bottleneck of our curving methodology is the preparation of curving-friendly inputs, a process that can take several days for complex geometries. Our distributed parallel implementation executed with 768 processors is able to curve the presented meshes in minutes.
