Automatic unstructured grid generators

Abstract

A review of automatic unstructured grid generators is given. These types of grids have found widespread use in computational fluid dynamics, computational structural dynamics, computational electro-magnetics and computational thermodynamics. The following topics are treated: the methods most commonly used, the specification of desired element size/shape and surface definition/meshing. Finally, the use of automatic grid generators as an enabling technology for moving body simulations and adaptive remeshing techniques is discussed.
