A new approach to grid generation. (English) Zbl 0794.65085
Summary: An entirely new approach to numerical grid generation, the deformation method, is presented. Each point of an existing grid is moved, in an inter-related manner, to a new position according to a system of $$n$$ ordinary differential equations ($$n$$ = spacial dimension). The resulting grid has prescribed mesh sizes.
