Löhner, Rainald Automatic unstructured grid generators. (English) Zbl 0917.73073 Finite Elem. Anal. Des. 25, No. 1-2, 111-134 (1997). Summary: 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.
