General Resources
- Mesh
Generation & Grid Generation on the Web
![[GOOD]](Icons/smiley.gif)
- Information on mesh generation: people, research groups, literature, conferences,
software, open positions and related topics. Maintained by Robert
Schneiders. This is a very good and current site! If you need more information
on grid generation then this is the first place you should look!
- Meshing Research
Corner
- A very good overview of the current literature on mesh generation. Also
has a meshing software survey available online which includes 45 grid generators
for CFD. Links to selected topics, authors and other resources. Maintained
by Steven J. Owen.
- CFD Online > Links > Software > Mesh Generation
- Links to several good overviews of mesh-generation sofware
- Numerical Grid Generation, Foundations and Applications
- This classical book by Joe F. Thompson is now available in full text directly
online.
- Meshing Jobs Database
- Advertising open positions in the field of mesh and grid generation. This
is a free service offered by the Meshing Research Corner in cooperation with
CFD Online. Editor is Steven
J. Owen.
- International Society of Grid Generation
- Organizes and coordinates various activities in grid generation.
- A Reflection on Grid Generation in the 90s: Trends, Needs, and Influences
- By Joe F. Thompson. A very nice overview of where grid generation stands
today and what is coming in the future. Includes 270 references!
- Paul Heckbert's Collection of Mesh Generation Links
- Might be worth a visit.
- Bibliography
on Mesh Generation and Optimal Triangulation
- A searchable bibtex database by Alf-Christian Achilles. It was compiled
for The Collection
of Computer Science Bibliographies .
Selected Projects
- Scalable Unstructured Mesh
Computation, SUMAA3d Project, MCS ANL.
- Parallel algorithms and software for unstructured mesh computation.
- GRUMMP
- Generation and Refinement of Unstructured Mixed-Element Meshes in Parallel.
- 3DMAGGS
- An elliptic grid generator for CFD. Designed to replace GRIDGEN3D. 3DMAGGS
was derived from the 3DGRAPE code, but has a number of new features. Free
for US citizens. Also check out VGM,
a volume grid manipulation tool.
- QMG
Mesh Generation Package
- A 3D unstructured mesh generator written in C++/Matlab. Can't handle curved
boundaries yet (May 28, 1996). Has a lot of documentation in html format!
