Hi there,

I am looking for a fast searching scheme on unstructured grids (triangle and tetrahedral). For a given point, I want to find the element that contains this point.

Thanks in advance.

Tony

Hi Tony,

Look to Lohner book "Applied CFD" p 11, 12 and 13.

I recommend the walking triangle algorithm. The paper associated with this site has a fair discription of this algorithm. This algorithm also has an easy extension to 3-D meshes but will require some additional thought if your domain is convex.
