Book Description
Highlights the Progression of Meshing Technologies and Their Applications Finite Element Mesh Generation provides a concise and comprehensive guide to the application of finite element mesh generation over 2D domains, curved surfaces, and 3D space. Organised according to the geometry and dimension of the problem domains, it develops from the basic meshing algorithms to the most advanced schemes to deal with problems with specific requirements such as boundary conformity, adaptive and anisotropic elements, shape qualities, and mesh optimization. It sets out the fundamentals of popular techniques, including: Delaunay triangulation Advancing-front (ADF) approach Quadtree/Octree techniques Refinement and optimization-based strategies From the geometrical and the topological aspects and their associated operations and inter-relationships, each approach is vividly described and illustrated with examples. Beyond the algorithms, the book also explores the practice of using metric tensor and surface curvatures for generating anisotropic meshes on parametric space. It presents results from research including 3D anisotropic meshing, mesh generation over unbounded domains, meshing by means of intersection, re-meshing by Delaunay-ADF approach, mesh refinement and optimization, generation of hexahedral meshes, and large scale and parallel meshing, along with innovative unpublished meshing methods. The author provides illustrations of major meshing algorithms, pseudo codes, and programming codes in C++ or FORTRAN. Geared toward research centers, universities, and engineering companies, Finite Element Mesh Generation describes mesh generation methods and fundamental techniques, and also serves as a valuable reference for laymen and experts alike.

Book Description
The numerical simulation of physical problems expressed in terms of partial differential equations (so-called PDE's) using a finite element, finite volume, boundary element, or any other numerical method requires the discretization of the domain of interest into a set of elements, i.e. a mesh. The differential equations are approximated by a set of algebraic equations on this mesh, this set being then solved to provide the approximate solution of the partial differential system over the field. The discretization requires certain properties for the solution to be exploitable and must at least conform to all domain boundaries in order to accurately represent boundary conditions. Consequently, the mesh generation stage, as an essential pre-requisite, is of utmost importance in the computational schemes, as it is related to the convergence of the computational scheme as well as to the accuracy of the numerical solutions. There is indeed a variety of algorithms suitable to produce such meshes. Some of these methods are designed to handle specific geometric situations while others can be used in a more general context. User-driven, semi-automatic as well as fully automatic methods exist leading to structured, unstructured or mixed meshes. The mesh generation problems are mainly related to the boundary meshing (line, curve and surface meshing) and domain meshing issues (planar domain or volumetric domain). Numerous computational issues must be carefully addressed for designing reliable and robust meshing algorithms. These issues concern computer-related data structures and algorithms (low-level routines) as well as advanced data structures and computational schemes (high-level routines). In this regard, basic computational tools, geometric and discrete geometric notions, computational and mesh data structures, element and mesh definitions are of significant importance. The aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive survey of the different algorithms and data structures useful for triangulation and meshing construction. In addition, several aspects will also be described, for instance mesh modification tools, mesh evaluation criteria, mesh optimization, including even adaptive mesh construction as well as parallel meshing techniques.

Book Description
Computational structural mechanics (CSM) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) have emerged in the last two decades as new disciplines combining structural mechanics and fluid dynamics with approximation theory, numerical analysis and computer science. Their use has transformed much of theoretical mechanics and abstract science into practical and essential tools for a multitude of technological developments which affect many facets of our life. This collection of over 40 papers provides an authoritative documentation of major advances in both CSM and CFD, helping to identify future directions of development in these rapidly changing fields. Key areas covered are fluid structure interaction and aeroelasticity, CFD technology and reacting flows, micromechanics, stability and eigenproblems, probabilistic methods and chaotic dynamics, perturbation and spectral methods, element technology (finite volume, finite elements and boundary elements), adaptive methods, parallel processing machines and applications, and visualization, mesh generation and artificial intelligence interfaces.
