  We present an approach for robust high-order mesh generation specially
tailored to streamlined bodies. The method is based on a semi-sructured
approach which combines the high quality of structured meshes in the near-field
with the flexibility of unstructured meshes in the far-field. We utilise medial
axis technology to robustly partition the near-field into blocks which can be
meshed coarsely with a linear swept mesher. A high-order mesh of the near-field
is then generated and split using an isoparametric approach which allows us to
obtain highly stretched elements aligned with the flow field. Special treatment
of the partition is performed on the wing root juntion and the trailing edge
--- into the wake --- to obtain an H-type mesh configuration with anisotropic
hexahedra ideal for the strong shear of high Reynolds number simulations. We
then proceed to discretise the far-field using traditional robust tetrahedral
meshing tools. This workflow is made possible by two sets of tools: CADfix,
focused on CAD system, the block partitioning of the near-field and the
generation of a linear mesh; and NekMesh, focused on the curving of the
high-order mesh and the generation of highly-stretched boundary layer elements.
We demonstrate this approach on a NACA0012 wing attached to a wall and show
that a gap between the wake partition and the wall can be inserted to remove
the dependency of the partitioning procedure on the local geometry.
