Description
Finite element, finite volume and finite difference methods use grids to solve the numerous differential equations that arise in the modelling
of physical systems in engineering. Structured grid generation forms an integral part of the solution of these procedures. Basic Structured
Grid Generation provides the necessary mathematical foundation required for the successful generation of boundary-conforming grids and
will be an important resource for postgraduate and practising engineers.
The treatment of structured grid generation starts with basic
geometry and tensor analysis before moving on to identify the variety of approaches that can be employed in the generation of structured
grids. The book then introduces unstructured grid generation by explaining the basics of Delaunay triangulation and advancing front
techniques. A companion website fully supports this book by providing numerical codes in FORTRAN 77/90 for both structured and unstructured
grid generation which will help the reader to develop their understanding and make progress in grid generation.
Audience
Civil, mechanical, structural, aeronautical, automotive and marine engineers.
