2D unstructured mesher in F90

Posted August 9, 2012 at 08:23 by truffaldino

This is 2D unstructured mesher.

tri_mesh.f90 is a mesher and the rest are input files

Example 1: Cavity flow driven by upper cavity wall

file: cavity_bc.txt

Example 2: flow past NACA 0012 airfoil

files: NACA0012_bc.txt - airfoil
wt_bc.txt - wind tunnel
wake_bc.txt -wake

Description of the program is placed in the header of tri_mesh.f90

    thx for your nice work truffaldino! the code help me a lot :-)
    can you please tell me some detail information about the algorithm in subroutine get_tree_and_table, i know you used quad-tree to split the area(im not sure about the details, this part confused me too),but what really puzzles me is how to use quad-tree to distinguish the area inside or outside the domain which need meshing, Can you give me some details about these, or give me some references. thx alot

    Hello fireflies,

    I have written this program several years ago and can barely remember what is inside. Let us try to recall...

    The main idea of the algorithm was to initially distribute points according to desired density inside domain. Then do the domain triangulation on these points with help of Delaunay algorithm and then deform the mesh according to this article ("DistMesh" algorithm)

    http://persson.berkeley.edu/pub/persson04mesh_col.pdf

    The quadtree is needed only on initial stage of point distribution. The distances to the domain boundary are computed with the help of subroutines dist get_distances etc just by computing distances from the point to all segments of the boundary and computing the total angle spanned by boundary with the center at a given point: If the angle is 0 then the point is outside the domain: if it is 2*Pi it is inside the domain. Total angle is computed by summing up the contribution from each segment of the bounday.

    About tree and table: I should refresh all details in memory, but as far as I can remember the table is something like the inverse tree. It seems I was trying to pack the tree in 1D array and then inverse tree restored the tree point from its number in this array.

    I should take look at this program once more to restore details in memory
